There is a group of disorders related to a particular organelle that can affect many different organ systems. Some common symptoms of these disorders include lack of energy, muscle weakness, difficulty when exercising, muscle pain, and poor growth. Which organelle would MOST LIKELY be responsible for causing these symptoms? A. The lysosome could be responsible because of its role in the cleanup and disposal of worn out cell parts. B. The membrane could be responsible because of its role in transport of materials into and out of the cell. C. The vacuole could be responsible because of its role in the storage of materials within the cell. D. The mitochondrion could be responsible because of its role in the manufacturing of ATP?

The organelle that is most closely related to the symptoms of lack of energy, muscle weakness and pain, and poor growth is the mitochondrion, that could be responsible because of its role in the manufacturing of ATP (option D).

Explanation:

The mitochondrion is the organelle that mainly provides energy to the body, given the process of oxidative phosphorylation that leads to the production of ATP, surce of energy.

Mitochondrial diseases are genetic disorders related to a dysfunction of the mitochondria, considerably reducing its energy production. This leads to an individual having generalized weakness, muscle pain and even growth disorders, the latter due to lack of energy to produce adequate metabolism.

significant amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other pollution

explanation:

passenger vehicles are a major pollution contributor, producing significant amounts of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other pollution. in 2013, transportation contributed more than half of the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, and almost a quarter of the hydrocarbons emitted into our air.
