Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are a class of drugs used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Unfortunately, a major side effect of these drugs causes people to get tired very easily, often due to a lack of energy.
Which of the following choices would be the best explanation as to the cause of this drug's side effect?
(Choice A)
A
The drug may be toxic to lysosomes, organelles that enzymatically break down cellular wastes.
(Choice B)
B
The drug may be toxic to the Golgi body, an organelle that receives, modifies, and transports cellular materials.
(Choice C)
C
The drug may be toxic to mitochondria, organelles that provide a source of energy (ATP) for the cell.
(Choice D)
D
The drug may be toxic to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an organelle that provides a source of energy (ATP) for the cell.

Liquid ammonia is produced at high temperatures and under great pressure in a tank by passing a mixture of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas over an iron catalyst. the reaction is represented by the following equation. n2(g) + 3h2(g) → 2nh3(g) changing all but one experimental condition will affect the amount of ammonia produced. that condition is a) increasing the concentration of both reactants b) changing the temperature within the tank c) decreasing the pressure within the tank. d) increasing only the amount of nitrogen present.

The zinc within a copper-plated penny dissolves in hydrochloric acid if the copper coating is filed down in several spots (so that the hydrochloric acid can reach the zinc). the reaction between the acid and the zinc 2h+(aq)+zn(s)→h2(g)+zn2+(aq) . when the zinc in a certain penny dissolves, the total volume of gas collected over water at 25 °c is 0.947 l at a total pressure of 743 mmhg . (vapor pressure of water is 23.78 mmhg at 25 °c .) what mass of hydrogen gas is collected? answer in appropriate significant figures
