Description: Diagram A shows a normal cell with an abnormal metabolism creating a cell with lots of fat in it labeled fatty liver.

Diagram B shows a cell with a protein mutation, which is a defect in protein folding or transport, resulting in a cell with lots of proteins in it, labeled accumulation of abnormal proteins.

Diagram C shows a cell with a lack of enzyme formatting a cell with a complex substrate labeled lysosomal storage disease, accumulation of endogenous materials.

Diagram D shows ingestion of indigestible materials, which enter the cell and result in those materials floating around inside the cell, labeled accumulation of exogeneous materials.
