Which organelle would cause fatigue?

The mitochondria is the organelle that can cause fatigue. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. If mitochondria are not functioning efficiently, it can lead to decreased energy production and result in fatigue.


What word do scientists use to describe any part of a cell enclosed by a membrane?

If it's inside the cell membrane and also enclosed in another membrane, it's an organelle. Not all organelles necessarily have membranes, but anything in a cell with a membrane would be an organelle. I would imagine you could call it a membranous organelle to be specific.


What would cause someone to have a missing sphincter valve?

A missing sphincter valve can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired due to surgery, injury, or medical conditions. This can lead to issues with controlling bowel movements and may require medical intervention.


Which organelle described in the table in part A would pellet first during centrifugation?

The organelle that would pellet first during centrifugation is the nucleus. Nuclei are typically the largest and heaviest organelles in the cell, and they have a high density, causing them to sediment first at lower centrifugal forces.


What would cause dry cough fatigue and low fever?

A dry cough, fatigue, and low-grade fever can be symptoms of various illnesses, such as the common cold, flu, or pneumonia. It is important to rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your symptoms. If they persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Why would a defect in the mitochondria cause fatigue?

A defect in the mitochondria can lead to reduced production of ATP, which is the primary source of energy for cells. This can result in fatigue because the body is not able to produce enough energy to meet its needs, leading to feelings of tiredness and weakness.

What would cause increased thirst and fatigue 2 months after gallbladder removal in a non-diabetic?

If you are noticing fatigue 2 months after gallbladder removal, it is possible that your pancreas is making up for lost time. Symptoms of diabetes can include excessive thirst and fatigue.


Can fatigue cause death?

Fatigue by itself is a sign, a symptom. In and of itself, ordinary fatigue would not be seen as a life threatening condition. However the cause of the fatigue is another matter. There could be an underlying condition in some cases that is life threatening and this could only be clarified by physicians. Also, ordinary fatigue can be and is routinely implicated in accidental deaths during the operation of machinery or automobiles, or while engaging in otherwise dangerous or very exacting activities like skiing, diving, climbing.


What would cause both the daytime running lights and headlights not to work in Suzuki Forenza?

i think, depending on the year, that problem is caused by a factory defect.


Would a Roman soldier defect?

That's not very likely. Roman soldiers were trained to be loyal to the end. They would rather die nobly than defect. There would be some who would defect, though, since there are always exceptions to every rule.


What would cause cracks to occur in the exhaust manifold of an aircraft?

I can think of two factors that would cause manifold cracks. One is the constant heating (expansion) and cooling (contraction) of the manifold, and the second is the vibration. These two factors both result in metal fatigue and are the likely cause of most failures. Perhaps there are experts in metal fatigue out there who would like to weigh in with a more informed response. == I've had some experience with Fatigue, but I'm no expert. I would not expect the manifold to fail due to fatigue as that implies it is under cyclic loading. The heat cycles can be a factor but that is a thermal problem and not a loading problem. I would expect that it has to do with heat cycles and rapid cooling due to something like rain hitting the exhaust. Custermen


Is dilantin a possible cause of fatigue?

Fatigue is not a known (reported) side effect of Dilantin. But, insomnia is a known side effect. And, if you're suffering from insomnia, that in itself would cause fatigue. If you go to http://www.rxlist.com and look up "Dilantin" you can see the list of all the side effects. Another good source of information on Rx drugs is http://www.fda.gov.
