Tay-sachs disease is a human genetic abnormality that results in cells accumulating and becoming clogged with very large, complex, undigested lipids. which cellular organelle is most likely defective in this condition?

The correct answer will be- lysosomes

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs is a genetic disorder which results in the dysfunction of the central nervous system of the body.

This disease is categorised as the lysosomal storage disease as the deficiency of hexosaminidase A enzyme leads to the accumulation of the fatty acids in the lysosomes which are considered the digestive organelle of the cell.

This abnormal lysosomes with accumulated gangliosides fatty acids destroys the surrounding organelles and the cell and thus cause the disease. Therefore, lysosome is the correct answer.

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
