What is a consequence of leakage of lysosomal enzymes during chemical injury?
A)Enzymatic digestion of the nucleus and nucleolus occurs, halting DNA synthesis.
B)Influx of potassium ions into the mitochondria occurs, halting the ATP production.
C)Edema of the Golgi body prevents the transport of proteins out of the cell.
D)Shift of calcium out of the plasma membrane occurs, destroying the cytoskeleton.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acid hydrolases from leaking lysosomes are activated in the reduced pH of the injured cell and they digest cytoplasmic and nuclear components. Influx of potassium ions into the mitochondria, edema of Golgi bodies, and calcium destruction of the cytoskeleton are not a consequence of leakage of lysosomal enzymes during chemical injury.
