Question

*A cell is treated with a toxin that prevents the synthesis of new lysosomes. However, the cell continues to produce the hydrolytic enzymes normally found in lysosomes. In which of the following structures are the hydrolytic enzymes most likely to accumulate?​a. Nucleus b. Lysosome c. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum d. Mitochondria e. Golgi complex

Answer 1

Ответ:

b. Lysosome

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

e. Golgi complex

In normal circumstances, hydrolytic enzymes are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, then they are transported to the Golgi complex for further processing and packaging into lysosomes. Lysosomes contain these hydrolytic enzymes, which are responsible for breaking down various substances within the cell.

If the synthesis of new lysosomes is prevented due to the toxin's effect, but the cell continues to produce hydrolytic enzymes, these enzymes will accumulate in the Golgi complex because they won't be able to reach their intended destination (the lysosomes). This accumulation can potentially disrupt cellular processes and lead to cellular dysfunction.
