Abnormal death of cells most likely occur due to the dysfunction of?
Correct answer: A. Mitochondria
- A. Mitochondria
- B. Lysosomes
- C. Chloroplast
- D. Cell membrane
Explanation
Widespread damage to mitochondria causes cells to die because of insufficient energy production. In fact, damaged mitochondria may also secrete enzymes that may accelerate the process of cell death. Lysosomes are responsible for normal, physiologic cell death. Lysosomal dysfunction mainly leads to lysosomal storage diseases.
