Answer:

Disease affects an organism by disrupting the organism's homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process by which an organism maintains a steady internal environment (stable body temperature, blood sugar level, electrolyte balance, etc.). A disease will disrupt this process. For example, Helicobacter pylori (the bacteria responsible for most stomach ulcers in humans) disrupts homeostasis by interfering with the production of the mucus layer that protects the stomach lining cells from the hydrochloric acid in the stomach lumen.

Compare and contrast the role of secretory vesicles, the lysosome, and the peroxisome.
Daniel [21]

Lysosomes ( common in animal cell but rare in plant cells) contain hydrolytic enzymes necessary for intracellular digestion in white blood cells that eat bacteria) lysosomes contents are carefully released Into the cytoplasm can also cause cell death.  

Peroxisomes: this organelle is responsible for protecting the cell form its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide. As an example, white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria .The oxidative enzymes in peroxisomes break down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Secretory vesicles: cell secretions –e.g, hormones, neurotransmitters, are packaged in secretory vesicles at the Golgi apparatus. The secretory vesicles are then transported to the cell surface for releases.
