A doctor sees a patient who has kidney failure, lack of motor coordination, and a poorly functioning nervous system. After testi

ng, the doctor finds that these symptoms are all related to a chronic lack of energy in some of the patient's cells. The doctor diagnoses a metabolic disorder known as Leigh's disease.
Based on this evidence, a malfunction in what organelle is most likely responsible for Leigh's disease?

Mitochondria are the energy centers of the eukaryotic cells. In these organelles, ATP (the energy coin of the cell) is produced by the oxidation of pyruvate (Krebs cycle) and oxidative phosphorylation.

  • Based on this information, malfunction in MITOCHONDRIA is most likely responsible for Leigh's disease.

  • Cellular respiration is series of metabolic reactions by which eukaryotic cells produce energy in the form of ATP from foods and oxygen.

  • Cellular respiration has three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

  • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, whereas the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondria.

What are known causes of epigenetic effects, and how do they
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Epigenetic effects can be caused by DNA heterochromatin and/or histone silence or activate.

As such, they can different chromosomes or certain chromosomal regions and be responsible for parental imprinting or influencing gene activity in oxidation and reduction.

Patterns of nucleotide demethylation and hypermethylation are often activate when cancer cells are compared to normal cells.

Explanation:

Cells acquire various patterns of gene expression during differentiation to adapt to a changing environment. Epigenetic and genetic alterations are considered as two independent mechanisms that participate in the onset and progression of cancer. Epigenetic mechanisms can be as important for biological events as genetic mechanisms, which do not imply a change in the DNA sequence, but do have an important role in the modification of gene expression.
