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.

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.

The multiple nuclei in skeletal muscle cells are the result of the
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Fusion of embryonic myoblasts, each having its own nucleus to many other myoblasts to form the multinucleated skeletal muscle fibers.

Explanation:

The multiple nuclei in skeletal muscle cells are as a result of fusion of embryonic myoblasts, each having its own nucleus to many other myoblasts to form the multinucleated skeletal muscle fibers. This gives rise to multiple copies of genes, allowing production of the large amounts of proteins and enzymes and ATPs needed for muscle contraction.
