A cell's digestive enzymes are enclosed in a membrane-bound organelle how can these molecules fuction in the cell?

since a digestive enzymes is a cell that eats away fat it should be coverd in a membrane because it does not need bacteria to run threw it. and incase you dont know what a membane is, it is a cell wall that keeps away bacteria,protects the cell itself and keeps away bacteria.

∙ 13y agoDigestive enzymes are in an enclosed organelle so that materials not meant to be digested, aren't. If they were released in the cytoplasm then anything could be digested, resulting in the cell dying.

∙ 14y agoThe lysosome contains several enzymes that are used to "digest" proteins etc....
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThese enzymes can damage vital structures in the cell, so they have to be kept separate.

How can you determine why digestive enzymes in a cell are enclosed in a membrane-bound organelle?
So it will not destroy the other parts of the cell.
Determine why digestive enzymes in a cell are enclosed in a membrane bound organelle?
because they eat all the food wich the cell collects
What Membrane enclosed digestive organelles containing enzymes that will break down peroxide molecules are called?
lysosomes

What are membrane covered organelles?
this are organelles enclosed by a membrane
What organelle in plant holds water?
Vacuoles, which are enclosed compartments which are filled with water. However they also contain inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution and food particles.
What is the name of the structure in a cell that is enclosed by a membrane and perform a particular function?
organelle
What organelle stores the plant cells water?
Vacuoles, which are enclosed compartments which are filled with water. However they also contain inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution and food particles.
Can a cell not be enclosed in a nucleus?
Nucleus is the organelle that is within the cell, not surrounding it. So yes, it can. In fact, all cells are not enclosed within the nucleus.
What do scientists use for 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 organelle stores food?
The organelle that stores food is plants as well as fungi is the vacuole. A vacuole is enclosed and also stores the waste.
