| 4 | This is correct. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes such as lysozyme, proteases, and lipases to degrade the ingested foreign substances and cellular debris. Tay–Sachs disease is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by the deficiency of lysosomal enzymes. It results because of the buildup of lipids in the brain and spinal cord. |

| 1 | This is correct. Ribosomes are known as the protein factories of the cell. Different types of cells produce different types of proteins. For example, ribosomes in pancreatic beta islet cells synthesize the proteins that make up insulin. The inability results in type 1 diabetes mellitus, a condition where the body is unable to produce insulin. |
| 2 | This is incorrect. Once ribosomes complete protein synthesis, the proteins are transported via the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus to be processed, packaged, and secreted. Impairment of this process does not result in type 1 diabetes mellitus. |
| 3 | This is incorrect. Microtubules are hollow filaments composed of protein subunits called tubulin. They have a dynamic structure, meaning that they are constantly being formed, broken down, and reformed. Stagnation of the process does not occur. |
| 4 | This is incorrect. The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules that act as a transport system within the cell and help in the transport of proteins. Impairment of this process does not result in type 1 diabetes mellitus. |

| 1 | This is incorrect. Transfer RNA (tRNA) plays an important role in the assembly of proteins, but would not be examined as a source of severe deformities in a newborn. |
| 2 | This is incorrect. Proteins manufactured by ribosomes are destined to become parts of the cell, enzymes, or exported protein secretions. Different types of cells manufacture different proteins. However, ribosomal RNA is not examined for a cause of severe deformities in a newborn. |
| 3 | This is correct. In the event of severe physical deformities, the double helix of DNA will be examined for identifiable defects. The findings will identify the cause. The DNA of the parents will also be examined to aid in the identification of the condition being genetically transferred. |
| 4 | This is incorrect. It is theorized that in aging and in disorders such as diabetes, cancer, and heart failure, mitochondrial DNA undergoes mutations. Diseases that target mitochondria specifically may be caused by injury of mitochondria occurring in the cells of different organs. Mitochondrial disease causes a wide array of problems, including energy depletion and severe muscle weakness, but not severe deformities. |

| 1 | This is correct. Muscle cramping and acidosis occur when the cells are deprived of adequate oxygen supply during energy metabolism. The oxygen level decreases slightly as the hiker climbs up the mountain into higher altitudes. |
| 2 | This is incorrect. Autolysis is the process in which lysosomes release digestive enzymes to destroy the parts of the dead cells. This process does not cause muscle cramping and acidosis in a hiker. |
| 3 | This is incorrect. Heterolysis is the process in which the lysosomes are used to digest the foreign bodies ingested by the macrophage. This process does not cause muscle cramping and acidosis in a hiker. |

| 5. | This is correct. The pentose sugar in RNA is ribose, and the pyrimidine base thymine is replaced with uracil. |
