During the last solar eclipse, it’s possible that some people looked at the sun without proper eyewear, allowing short wave radiation (blue light and UV light) to reach the photoreceptor cells in their retinas. After UV light exposure, these cells would accumulate DNA damage, lipid damage to their membranes, and damage to parts of their mitochondria (through reactive oxygen species). For each of the following, explain why or why you would not expect to see it/them present in these damaged cells.A. cytochrome C in the cytosolB. necrosisC. active caspasesD. active Bcl-2
