<u>Phenylketonuria</u>
Explanation:
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a type of a rare inherited metabolic disorder.
Etiology: PKU results from excessive accumulation of the amino acid phenylalanine in the body. Normally, phenylalanine will be converted to tyrosine (forms neurotransmitters) by the action of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase.
Among people with PKU, a defect in the PAH gene which codes to synthesize this enzyme occurs which leads to the absence of this enzyme. So the phenylalanine which is normally present in dietary protein is not metabolized and gets accumulated. This gene is inherited by the child only if both the parents are with the defective PAH gene.
Symptoms: Stunted growth, behaviroral disturbances, learning difficulties, seizures, tremors etc.
Treatment: Basic treatment is to follow a diet which limits dietary sources of phenylalanine. High protein foods like meat, egg should be avoided. Children can be given PKU formula to supplement their nutritional needs.

Answer: The cell that is being observed under the microscope have flagellum and lysosomes. The function of flagella is to help in the movement of the cell. This is considered as the locomotory organ of the cells. The membrane bound cell organelles lysosomes contains hydrolytic enzymes that is used by the cell for the breakdown of food ingested by cell.
Conclusion is that the cell can perform locomotion and digestion of small molecules.

B. Proteins have some amino acids that contain
sulfur, whereas most lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates do not contain
sulfur.
The term which describes the breaking down of body cells or substance is CATABOLISM.
The metabolic processes which occur in living things are of two types, these are anabolic and catabolic processes. The anabolic process involves the building up of needed materials in the body while the catabolic process involves the breaking down of waste materials in the body in order to eliminate them through excretion.
