A mutation in either a hormone or its receptor might affect the physiological system that it normally regulates by either blocking hormone effect or creating a completely different effect.

Hormones can be called chemical messengers which coordinate distinct functions in the body. Many glands, organs and tissues produce and release hormones, many of which constitute the endocrine system.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body if it fits i.e. if the cells in the target tissue have receptors which can receive the message of the hormone. Given that hormones carry instructions in their structure, mutations alter their structures by changing nucleic acid sequences which blocks hormone function.

The various parts of the endomembrane system serve different functions in the cell. In this activity, you will identify the role
Viktor [21]

Answer:

A) Lipid synthesis : Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

B) Calcium ion storage : Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

C) Poison detoxification : Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

D) Protien synthesis : Rough endoplasmic reticulum.

E) Protien modification and sorting : Golgi apparatus

F) Cisternal maturation : Golgi apparatus.

G) Macromolecule digestion : Lysosomes

H) Autophagy : Lysosome.

Explanation:

<u>Smooth endoplasmic reticulum</u> is involved in the synthesis and storage of lipids . It also stores the calcium ions and contain enzymes responsible for the detoxification of the poisonous substances like CCL4 and other agents. SO the answer of A , B  and C is Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

<u>Rough endoplasmic reticulum</u> contains ribosomes which synthesize protiens thus answer of D is RER.

The <u>Golgi apparatus</u> functions as a factory in which the protiens recieved from the endoplasmic reticulum are modified and sorted and is also involved in cysternal maturation so answer of option E and F is Golgi apparatus.

<u>Lysosomes</u> are the part of endomembrane system involved in the digestion of the macromolecules and in the recycling of the worn-out organelles hence also involved in autophagy. Hence answers of G and H is lysosomes.
