The cellular organelle most affected in Tay-Sachs disease is the lysosome structure C (Option C)
What is Lysosomes?
Tay-Sachs disease primarily affects the lysosomes within cells. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes responsible for breaking down various substances, including cellular wastes.
Lysosomes is important in maintaining cellular homeostasis by removing damaged or obsolete cellular components, and participating in the recycling of cellular building blocks.
In Tay-Sachs disease, there is a deficiency of the enzyme hexosaminidase A, which normally functions to break down a specific type of lipid.
Thus, the cellular organelle most affected in Tay-Sachs disease is the lysosome structure C.
