Scientists have found that the disease known as Alzheimer's is linked to the point accumulation of misfolded proteins in cells. These proteins are capable of
causing cell and tissue damage. Which two organelles should scientists
first investigate to learn more about this buildup of misfolded proteins?*
The scientists should investigate the endoplasmic reticulum to see how often it is
misfolding proteins, and the lysosomes to see the rate at which they are removing
misfolded proteins
The scientists should investigate the ribosomes to see the rate at which they are
O synthesizing proteins and the cell membrane to see what type of cell damage has
occurred.
The scientists should investigate the cell wall to see how often it lets misfolded
proteins into the cell, and the mitochondria to see if it is providing enough energy for
the lysosomes to digest the misfolded proteins.
The scientists should investigate the cell membrane to see how often it lets
misfolded proteins into the cell, and the cell wall to see what type of damage has
been done to the cell.
