KROK 1 2013 – Question 116 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Inherited diseases, such as mucopolysaccharidoses, are manifested in metabolic disorders of connective tissue, bone and joint pathologies. The sign of this disease is the excessive urinary excretion of the following substance:
- A. Glucose
- B. Amino acids
- C. Lipids
- D. Urea
- E. Glycosaminoglycans
Hint
Mucopolysaccharidoses are lysosomal storage diseases, so think about which macromolecules of connective tissue cannot be degraded and are therefore excreted in the urine.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
