Answer:

The correct answer is lysosomes

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic metabolic disorder in which a lipid called GM2 ganglioside builds in the brain which results in spasticity and death in childhood.

This disease is also known as lysosomal storage disease. Lysosomes are the major organelle that contains enzymes to breakdown molecules. In Tay-Sachs disease deficiency of hexosaminidase A occurs in lysosomes and this enzyme is needed to breakdown fats.  

So due to this deficiency, it results in the accumulation of fats in the brain and spinal cord causing Tay-Sachs disease.

How many years might primary succession take with medium amounts of rainfall and temperature? Explain why ​ HELPP PLEASE HELP
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The primary succession process can take hundreds of years to happen, even in medium amounts of rain and temperature.

Explanation:

The primary succession occurs when a community of plants begins to sprout in areas that have never been occupied by any type of living being. The primary succession occurs, for example, with the sprouting of vegetables in rocky outcrops. These plant species are known as primary species and although they are able to survive, these environments offer few resources for the development of living things. Generally, it takes hundreds and even thousands of years for primary succession to occur, even in environments with average temperature and precipitation.
