Question

question 2 of 10 which of the following organelles is most likely to affect apoptosis? a. cytoskeleton b. nucleus c. smooth endoplasmic reticulum d. lysosome

Explanation:

Apoptosis is a programmed cell - death process. The mitochondria play a crucial role in apoptosis, but among the given options, the lysosome can release enzymes that contribute to cell death during apoptosis. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes and when they release these enzymes into the cytoplasm under certain conditions, it can lead to cell self - destruction which is part of the apoptosis process.

Answer:

D. Lysosome
