Tropical leafcutter ants collect leaf cuttings which they transport to special underground chambers. There, the ants chew the le

aves to create nursery beds on which the ants grow a species of fungus they use for food. When ant queens disperse to establish new colonies, they carry the fungus with them, dispersing it as well (this benefits the fungus). In the ants' new nests, the fungus is at risk of being destroyed by another fungal species that is able to grow in the habitat, using the same limited resources. On their bodies, the ants carry and provide a home for bacteria that produces antibiotics the ants use to kill the newly encountered fungus and thereby protect their food supply. In this system, the relationship between the leafcutter ants and their fungal food species is:a. mutualism. b. interspecific competition. c. parasitism. d. commensalism. e. predation.

A cell is treated with a drug that prevents the formation of new lysosomes. The cell continues to transcribe the genes that code
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is D: Golgi apparatus.

In principle, the lysosomes are the responsible for accumulating of hydrolytic enzymes, so if the drug did not prevent the formation of lysosomes, the accumulation of hydrolytic enzymes would be in charge of the lysosomes.

But in the statement it says that the drug with which the cell is being treated prevents the formation of lysosomes, and in this case, the organelle that is most likely to perform the function of accumulating  hydrolytic enzymes is the golgi apparatus.
