Which of the following would be true for lysosomes that lack mannose- 6- phosphate receptors?
A) They do not receive enzyme shipments from the Golgi apparatus.
B) They function equally as well as those that possess mannose 6- phosphate receptors.
C) They have unstable membranes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mannose-6-phosphate receptors are responsible for recognizing and binding to enzymes marked with this molecule in the Golgi apparatus. Without these receptors, lysosomes would not receive enzyme shipments from the Golgi and would therefore not be able to perform their functions properly. The lack of these receptors would not necessarily result in unstable membranes or affect the general function of lysosomes.
