Lysosomes that lack mannose-6-phosphate receptors ________.
A) receive "modified" enzymes and are thus unable to break down carbohydrates
B) do not receive enzyme shipments from the Golgi apparatus
C) have unstable membranes
D) stick to transport vesicles and impede the transfer of enzymes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mannose-6-phosphate receptors are responsible for targeting modified enzymes to the lysosome. Lysosomes without these receptors will not receive the enzyme shipments from the Golgi apparatus, leading to a buildup of undigested material in the cell.
