Polycythemia is defined an abnormal increase in the number of circulating red blood cells. It is mainly caused by a cancerous condition known as myeloproliferative disorder or due to a low supply of oxygen to body tissues usually due to living in high altitude areas and the body tries to compensate by producing more red blood cells to increase oxygen carrying capacity of the blood Normal blood count values in a male adult is 4.7 to 6.1 million cells/mcL, while in a female adult it is 4.2 to 5.4 million cell/mcL. If this blood cell count is significantly higher then these values, and remains there or continues to rise, over a given period of time, accompanied with some specific symptoms, then polycythemia is suspected.

Students in a science class were asked to investigate how missing or damaged organelles affect cellular homeostasis for cells fo
lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?

Explanation:

Organelles are specific in their functioning and hence, each organelle contributes its own quota to the cell's proper functioning. According to the question, a muscle tissue is being worked on to determine the effect of a missing or damaged organelle on its cell.

Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic living cells. They are the organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP (energy) used by the cell as a result of the glucose that gets converted in them during cellular respiration.

Therefore, to determine if the muscle cells are functioning properly, the question that: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell? should be asked.

Note that, Chloroplast and cell wall are not found in muscle cells, which is an animal cell. Likewise, ribosomes are not organelles for synthesis of glucose.
