Step-by-step explanation:
Symptoms of a Cellular Disease Affecting Mitochondrial Function:
Poor Growth: The body’s ability to grow and develop could be hindered due to the lack of energy produced by the mitochondria.
Muscle Weakness: The muscles may not function properly due to the lack of energy, leading to weakness or pain.
Vision/Hearing Loss: The nerves controlling vision and hearing require a lot of energy and could be affected.
Developmental Delays: Cognitive development could be slowed due to the lack of energy in the brain cells.
Gastrointestinal Issues: Problems like diarrhea, constipation, unexplained vomiting, acid reflux, and swallowing difficulties may occur.
Seizures: The brain may not function properly due to the lack of energy, leading to seizures.
Migraines: Lack of energy in the brain cells could also lead to migraines.
