Question

Help me plz!

2. What is the function of GAA?


A.) *GAA breaks enzymes down into small pieces the cell can use*

B.) GAA speeds up the creation of glycogen from glucose subunits

C.) GAA speeds up the breakdown of glycogen into glucose subunits



3. What do lysosomes hold?


A.) Golgi apparatus

B.) DNA

C.) *Enzymes*

D.) Vesicles



4. What causes tissue to break down in people with Pompe disease?


A.) A build up of broken enzymes blocks blood flow in capillaries, eventually resulting in death.

B.) *Enlarged lysosomes weaken tissue and burst lysosomes damage tissue with acid.*

C.) High blood sugar causes diabetic shock.

6. One codon codes for...

A.) *one amino acid*

B.) one protein

C.) one nucleotide

D.) one gene



7. A change to DNA is called a _____________.


*There are no options for this question but I believe the answer is mutation*



8. For an individual to develop Pompe disease, they must have two alleles for the broken GAA enzyme.


A.) True

B.) *False*

Answer 1

The GAA gene provides instructions for producing an enzyme called acid alpha-glucosidase (also known as acid maltase). This enzyme is active in lysosomes, which are structures that serve as recycling centers within cells.

What do lysosomes hold? =

enzymes

4. Mutations in the GAA gene prevent acid alpha-glucosidase from breaking down glycogen effectively, which allows this sugar to build up to toxic levels in lysosomes. This buildup damages organs and tissues throughout the body, particularly the muscles, leading to the progressive signs and symptoms of Pompe disease.

7 mutation.

8 the last one i dont know

hope this helps 0w0 explain or help a bit
