Tay-Sach's disease occurs when cells build upto certain amaount of lipids in cell. Which organelle is responsible for the disease?
Correct answer: B. Lysosomes
- A. Golgi apparatus
- B. Lysosomes
- C. Mitochondria
- D. SER
Explanation
Tay-Sach's disease is a genetic disorder that results in the destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It is due to the deficiency of lipids-digesting enzymes in the body. These enzymes are present in lysosomes. Hence, lysosomes are responsible for such types of storage diseases.
