**Autophagic Flux Assessment**

**Statement:**  
"Autophagic flux is functioning correctly as long as more autophagic vesicles are generated than are degraded."

**Options:**

- ○ True
- ○ False

This question tests the understanding of autophagic flux, a critical cellular process involving the generation and degradation of autophagic vesicles. Correct assessment of autophagic flux ensures balanced cellular maintenance and function.

**Question:**

The increased impact that lysosomal storage disorders have on brain cells is a result of the limited ability that neuronal cells have to cope with toxic metabolite build up coupled with their close association with the immune cells that mediate inflammation in the brain.

- ☐ True
- ☐ False

**Explanation:**

Lysosomal storage disorders are a group of rare metabolic diseases caused by an enzyme deficiency in the lysosome, leading to a buildup of toxic substances. This accumulation can adversely affect neuronal cells, partly because these cells have a limited ability to process and clear these toxic metabolites. Furthermore, the interaction between these neuronal cells and immune cells often results in inflammation, exacerbating the damage to brain cells.

In this question, you need to determine whether the described mechanism accurately explains the increased impact of lysosomal storage disorders on brain cells. Consider the role both toxic buildup and inflammation play in these conditions.
