Excess accumulations of substances in cells may lead to cellular injury due to toxicity, immune response, and/or taking up cellular space

Characterized by:

Excessive amounts of normal intracellular substance

Characterized by:

- Accumulation of abnormal substances secondary to faulty metabolism or synthesis

- Accumulation of pigments or particles that cell is unable to degrade

Common site of accumulation is liver

What cellular organelle is responsible for recycling intracellular proteins?

The proteasome is responsible for degrading and recycling intracellular proteins that are damaged or no longer needed. This process helps to maintain cellular homeostasis by preventing the accumulation of misfolded or dysfunctional proteins.

How does the intracellular environment differ from the extracellular environment during a resting state?

Intracellular is more lazy compared to extracellular environment when both of them are resting. Maybe intracellular is more tired.


How might the pH of the intracellular fluid change when cells increase their rate of metabolism?

When cells increase their rate of metabolism, they produce more acidic byproducts like carbon dioxide. This can lead to a decrease in the pH of the intracellular fluid due to the accumulation of these acidic compounds. Cells may rely on buffering systems to maintain the pH within a narrow range despite the increased metabolic activity.
