Achondrogenesis type A and B

Summary:

There are many terrible disease and trouble to a human and a cell when a organelle malfunctions. For example; The Golgi Body. The Golgi Body can cause a disease called Achondrogenesis. Achondrogenesis is a disease that makes a babies bones and cartilage have a hard time developing. This is causes by the malfunction of the Golgi Bodies micro tubules. Its malfunctions when the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) cannot transport proteins to the Golgi Body. And this causes the bones a cartilage to have trouble developing. 

SP7: Engaging in argument from evidence

In out cell wars unit we are arguing about cells malfunctions and which cell would make a fine president. And my cell is The Golgi Body. We are arugining and saying the Golgi Body is the best candidate because The golgi is often considered the distribution and shipping department for the cell's chemical products.The Golgi also is found in both animal and plant cells.And we already work for the cell. 

Structure and Function

Once again we were working on our video so we had to investigate further into other organelles functions and our own as well. We found out that Mitochondria “Malfunctioning mitochondria have been linked to diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and even normal aging.” And If we have too many vacuoles, that can cause serious diseases such as Danon’s Disease, which can affect the whole cell. Actually, it can affect the entire body. Danon’s Disease breaks down muscle cells, leaving a low survival rate. The cell membrane is responsible for letting in water, salt, and nutrients. If the membrane malfunctions, the entire cell suffers because of the imbalanced levels of water, salt, and nutrients. And Achondrogenesis is very rare. Only about 1 in 40-60,000 babies have it.
