Buildup of incorrectly folded proteins induces a stress response known as unknown protein response (UPR)that, when prolonged, has a high correlation with neurodegenerative diseases such as parkinson's. which organelle Is likely malfunctioning and allowing for the buildup?
A)Mitochondrion
B)Vesicles
C)Nucleus
D)Lysosome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The buildup of incorrectly folded proteins leading to a stress response is associated with the malfunctioning of lysosomes. Lysosomes are responsible for degrading and recycling cellular waste, including misfolded proteins. When lysosomes are not functioning properly, these proteins can accumulate, potentially leading to neurodegenerative diseases.
