-Functionalism is the field concerned with how mental processes help organisms adapt to their environment.

-Wilhelm Wundt established structuralism; he broke down consciousness into its two basic elements- subjective feelings and objective sensations.

-William James established functionalism; James disagreed with the functionalists and believed that consciousness couldn't be broken down as structuralists believed because it was a continuous stream of consciousness.

-Similarities are that subjective feelings and objective sensations are included in a continuous stream of consciousness as well as many other things. Organisms can adapt to their environment by using their subjective feelings and objective sensations and thoughts in order to solve problems that occur in their environment.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Lysosomes.

Explanation:

HEXA (Hexosaminidase A) is the functional enzyme and encoded by the HEXA gene. The main function of this enzyme is the hydroxylation of the gangliosides.

The mutation in this gene leads to the lysosomal storage disease. The GM2 starts accumulating in the lysosomes and causes Tay Sach's disease. This is a genetic disorder that leads to the breakdown of the cells of the spinal cord and the brain.

Thus, the answer is lysosomes.
