The question must be answered in your own words using proper biological terminology. A researcher discovers a mutation that prevents lysosomes in animal cells from functioning properly. Over time, large amounts of damaged proteins, worn-out organelles, and cellular waste begin accumulating inside the cells. Describe the structure and function of lysosomes. Explain why damaged organelles and cellular waste are accumulating in these cells. Discuss how the loss of functional lysosomes would affect the cell’s ability to maintain homeostasis and survive.
