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.

What's the main function of the Krebs cycle
kati45 [8]
The main function of the Krebs cycle is to generate energy for the cell. The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle and is part of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that cells use to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use. Cell respiration requires oxygen to take place. Cellular respiration consists of four stages:1. the breaking down of glucose into molecules (glycolysis)2. the link reaction - this process forms a link between glycolysis and the Krebbs reaction3. Krebbs reaction 4. The electron transport chain

Inga [223]
Generally people would say that the result are published in journals, and it is true that Journals are often the first opportunity for many people to read about those results.

However, it takes a long time to publish in a journal, and people often present their results to a smaller audience at a conference before the journal is ready.

What are two different things you could do to reduce the amount of Carbon Dioxide In the Atmosphere? Plz explain
mylen [45]
Well one thing u could do is to reduce the amount of fossil fuels burning (idk how, maybe finding a better alternative to burning them) another way would be planting more trees, or buy energy efficient products. Basically these things just reduce the carbon footprint by reducing the amount of fossil fuels (because we only have a limited amount) i hope this helped
