What organelle does “Pompe Disease” affect in the cell, and how does this disease affect someone’s life?

1 answer:

Pompe is a disease in which u have a defect in the lysosome (an organelle found in every eukaryotic cell). The gene should be making a certain enzyme but it doesn't. This causes things to build up in cells that shouldn't be there. This type if disease is progressive and can be fatal. The treatment for this disease is very expensive. A person would need enzyme replacement therapy...which is not cheap. It will drastically affect a person's life. One can have progressive muscle weakness (where they require a walker or wheel chair), respiratory problems (where a breathing tube might be needed) , and heart defects.

Which of the following statements describes how the prokaryotic cell appear compared to the eukaryotic cells?

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall, Eukaryotic cells do not. Eukaryotic cells are much larger an are in fact more complex then Prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus bound by a doubled membrane. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus.

Consider the equation S + O2 ? SO2. What is the product? Question 3 options: S SO 2 S + SO 2 O 2

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer : The product in the given balanced reaction is, sulfur dioxide $(SO_2)$ .

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$S+O_2\rightarrow SO_2$

This reaction occurs when sulfur react with oxygen gas to give sulfur dioxide gas as a product.

In the given balanced chemical reaction, sulfur (S) and oxygen gas $(O_2)$ are the reactants and sulfur dioxide $(SO_2)$ is the product.

Hence, the product in the given balanced reaction is, sulfur dioxide $(SO_2)$ .

A) In how many cases in the genetic code would you fail to know the amino acid specified by a codon if you knew only the first t

Vesna [10]

Answer:

a) 28 cases

b) 3 cases

Explanation:

a) From the table of genetic codes, there are 28 codons that specify more than one amino acid assuming only the first two nucleotides are considered. In these cases, one cannot outrightly specify the amino acid the genetic codes are coding for without knowing the last nucleotide of the codes. For example, UU can be for Phenylalanine or Leucine, CA can be for Histidine or Glutamine, etc.

b) From the table of genetic codes, the first two nucleotides of Arginine can be either of CG or AG, that of Serine can be either of UC or AG while that Leucine can be either of CU or UU. Only in these 3 cases would one fail to know which are the first two nucleotides assuming the name of the amino acids are given.

See the attached image for the genetic code.

To investigate whether roots exert a pushing force strong enough to cause water to move up the stems plants,my question is state

polet [3.4K]

The stem of the plant should be cut at least three to four inches above the surface level.
The glass capillary should be tightly fixed with the stem.
The initial water level and the final water level should be carefully noted.
The droplets on the leaves should be observed and conclude that these drops are not from transpiration.
