Biology
1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
7 0
Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.

What is the effect of defective or missing N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase on lysosomal protein sorting?
LiRa [457]

The deficiency in this enzyme causes that it begins erroneously label other enzymes. Because the activating proteins are not properly labeled, they escape into spaces outside the cell and do not disintegrate substances inside the cells, that is, lysosomes cannot perform their function correctly.
