Answer:

Its is a lysosomal storage disease!

Explanation:

<u>Hurler syndrome:-</u> is also known as mucopolysaccharidosis-I .

It Is due to the mutation on chromosome 4 .

There is a lack of of enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase.This enzyme is present in lysosomes

It causes accumulation of mucopolysaccharides because of the absent of the enzyme in the lysosome

<u>Hunter syndrome:- </u>is also known as mucopolysaccharidosis-II

It occurs due to mutation in iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene.It is an X-linked disease

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.

kotykmax [81]

The Cori cycle (also known as the lactic acid cycle), named after its discoverers, Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Cori,[1] refers to the metabolic pathway in which lactate produced by anaerobic glycolysis in the muscles moves to the liver and is converted to glucose, which then returns to the muscles and is cyclically metabolized back to lactate.[2]

The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.
