You are running tests on a tissue and you find that the cells that compose it have a build up of amino acids and lipids that normally would have broken down and removed from the cell. What is the best explanation for this

The most likely explanation is that the cells have a deficiency in the enzymes necessary to break down and remove the amino acids and lipids. This could be due to a genetic mutation, or due to a lack of nutrients or other factors.
