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.

1. What does your body do to infected cells?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: White blood cells form to fight off cell infections.

Explanation:

1. Your body produces white blood cells which fight against infected cells, depends on what type of cell it is and how infected it is.

2. The immune response to a viral infection is primarily generated by a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes; cells that are mostly localized in ‘lymphoid tissues’ such as the lymph nodes or tonsils. However, the number of lymphocytes that can recognize and react against any individual type of virus is initially very small. This is particularly true for a novel virus such as SARS-CoV-2, which people have never encountered before. In order to produce an effective immune response, the small number of lymphocytes that can recognize a virus must become more abundant. Even though lymphocytes proliferate quickly it still takes several days before there are sufficient cells available to fight back against the infection. During this period the virus may also be spreading rapidly, so there is a race between the virus and the immune system that may determine the final outcome, in terms of recovery.
