Lysosomes are membranous orgahelles that contain digestive enzymes. Lysosones can function inside the cell, where their enzymes
digest particles taken in by endocytosis or worn-out cell components Lysosomes can also release their enzymes outside the cell, where the enzymes break down extracellular material. Answer the following questions about conditions related to lysosomal function.
l-cell disease is a lysosomal storage disease that results in the buildup of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins as inclusion bodies within the cell. Which is the probable cause?
(A) The cell does not take up food molecules by endocytosis.
(B) Lysosomes accumulate extra lipid-digesting enzymes
(C) The lysosome cannot fuse to the cell membrane to release enzymes extracellularly
(D) The Golgi apparatus cannot target the appropriate enzymes to the lysosome.
(D) The Golgi apparatus cannot target the appropriate enzymes to the lysosome.
Explanation:
Enzymes are a type of protein build in ribosomes. The rough endoplasmic reticulum works with the golgi apparatus where proteins can be modified, sort and packed according to cell needs. Lysosomes are formed by budding of the Golgi apparatus.
