Question
Chapter 8.3, Problem 2TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The regulation of production of ribosomal RNAs and ribosomal proteins when the growth rate has declined due to the limited availability of amino acids.
Introduction:
Translation is the process of translating the genetic information from the sequence of a mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) to the sequence of a polypeptide. tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) acts as an adapter molecule that reads the code from one end and brings the specific amino to the other.

Why do cancer cells treated with vitamin E succinate appear to be more vulnerable to rupture of their lysosomal membranes (and subsequent apoptosis) than normal cells?
cancer cells often have an alkaline cytosol, which destabilizes the alkaline lysosomes
cancer cells often have an alkaline cytosol, which destabilizes the acidic lysosomes
cancer cells often have an acidic cytosol, which destabilizes the alkaline lysosomes
cancer cells often have an acidic cytosol, which destabilizes the acidic lysosomes
all of the above
Peroxisomes and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum are both associated with detoxification of harmful substances. How do these two organelles differ with regard to this process?
