Two genetic diseases, Hunter and Hurler syndromes, are caused by an inability of cells to break down and recycle mucopolysaccharides, which are substances found in the extracellular areas of the body. A lysosomes is an organelle responsible for performing breaking down and recycling function in normal cells.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The lysosomes is one of the important organelles in the intra-cellular digestive systems. Its main function involves removal of wastes, including digestion of excess worn-out cells, viruses, bacteria, and other food particles.

It contains acid hydro-lase which is a digestive enzyme. Due to these functions, it is also otherwise called scavenger of the cells. Malfunctioning of lysosomes will result in LSD, lysosomes storage disorders.

Examples: Hunter syndrome, Fabry and Gaucher disease.

Explain how the changes in the trends for smoking may affect the occurrence of cardiovascular disease.
arlik [135]

Answer:

Smoking and cardiovascular disease

Smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in several ways:

Smoking damages the lining of the arteries, including the coronary arteries. The damage encourages the build-up of fatty material in the arteries. This can lead to a heart attack or a stroke.

Inhalation of carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke reduces the amount of oxygen that can be carried by the blood.

The nicotine in cigarette smoke increases the heart rate, putting strain on the heart.

Chemicals in cigarette smoke increase the likelihood of the blood clotting, resulting in a heart attack or stroke.
