Absence of an enzyme that is involved in the catabolism of lipids may ultimately result in:
Correct answer: C. Mental retardation
- A. Glycogenosis
- B. Lysosomal disorder
- C. Mental retardation
- D. Storage disease
Explanation
Due to the deficiency of such enzymes, lipids are accumulated in the brain cells, which lead to mental retardation or even death. The disorder is called Tay Sach's disease.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
