CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If an organism’s cells have damage to its ribosomes, what symptoms would you expect to see?
A
Limited growth because of cell’s inability to catch sunlight and make sugars
B
limited growth because molecules, viruses and worn out organelles are not broken down
C
limited growth because proteins are not being produced
D
limited growth because cell materials are not able to be transported out of the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The researchers found that the defective ribosomes tend to make a specific kind of mistake when translating the genetic code. This mistake changes specific patterns of gene expression in cells, consistent with changes that can lead to cancer.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the ribosomes stop working the cell will not be able to make protein. Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. They read messenger RNA (mRNA) and assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains that eventually are folded into proteins. Proteins are needed for everything inside the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Without ribosome biogenesis, translation of mRNA into protein ceases and cellular growth stops.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 Answer. Loss of ribosomes will stop protein synthesis.
