Question 1: The alien species has decided that they will use a special ray gun to destroy all of a specific type of organelles from all of the cells of your outer ears. Choose which of the following you would miss the least and discuss exactly what the results would be on a cellular level (hint- think of the functions of that organelle). Choose one of the following organelles to be removed in all of the cells of your outer ears: nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria, vacuoles, golgi, ER, or lysosomes.a List any treatments that you would try to counteract the loss of that organelle.I need just detail because I post the same question before.I appreciate you too much if you have more detail about (discussing the lost functions, discussing the chain of events that would occur without treatment).I know the answer Vacuoles.I need to know about lost function and chain event, just more detail.thank you for helping
Explanation / Answer
Answer: Vacuoles
Reason: Vacuoles represent the maximum fluid content along with water, ions and minerals in the cells. Thus, if the cells are dehydrated or devoid of the vacuoles abruptly, they will immediately suffer from redox stress. This redox stress will lead to activation of a chain of events in which superoxide radicals would be generated which can cause irreversible damage to the cells and lead to programmed cell death. For example, the free radicals can activate the mitochodnria to release caspace-3/-7 secondary to cytochrome c release in the cytoplasm. These active caspaces then bring about apoptosis by permanent DNA damage and cellular performation.
Although the cells would try to counteract this damage by scavenging these free radicals using enzymatic or non-enzymatic anti-oxidants, the extent of damage might be too high to be controlled by these mechanisms. Hence, removing vacuoles will have a detrimental effect on the cellular physiology.
