Question

question 6 of 10
which of the following statements best describes the possible effects of organelle malfunction?
a. organelle malfunction disrupts normal cell function, which causes wider systemic malfunction.
b. the effects of organelle malfunction are limited to the specific cells that are malfunctioning.
c. a change in diet can be used to eliminate the malfunction.
d. organelle malfunctions are not disruptive and can generally be ignored.

Explanation:

Organelles are essential for cell - function. Malfunction in them disrupts normal cell processes. Since cells are building blocks of tissues and organs, this can lead to systemic malfunction. Option B is incorrect as effects can spread beyond malfunctioning cells. Diet change usually cannot eliminate organelle malfunction (ruling out C), and organelle malfunctions are often very disruptive and cannot be ignored (ruling out D).

Answer:

A. Organelle malfunction disrupts normal cell function, which causes wider systemic malfunction.
