What structure is responsible for digesting material for the cell?
the lysosomes
Organelles that contain enzymes that destroy material engulfed by phagocytes are what?
Lysosomes
What are the functions of lytic enzymes?
Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.
What cell breaks down food molecules cell wast and worn out cell parts?
it's not the mitochondria, it's lysosomes. mitochondria is composed of proteins and enzymes.
What is the function of lysosome in animal cell?
Lysosomes contain enzymes for compound breakdown. Often lysosomes fuse with phagosomes(contain substances from outside of the cell) in order to digest material. Lysosomes contain enzymes like proteases, phospholipases, etc... Lysosomes also have H+ ion pumps in the membrane in order to decreases the pH which denatures molecules and activates the enzymes. Lysosomes are also important in cell activated suicide. When the cell receives a signal for autolysis a signal is sent to the lysosomes which release its contents into the cytoplas, and result in cell death. Hope that helps. -Yes, it did. Thx!(:
What structure is responsible for digesting material for the cell?
the lysosomes
What is the role of lysosomes in the bulk transport process of endocytosis?
During endocytosis, the vesicles merge with the lysosomes. The lysosomes then proceed to break down the material of the cell and get rid of the waste.
Organelles that contain enzymes that destroy material engulfed by phagocytes are what?
Lysosomes
How do the lysosomes break down food material inside a vacuole?
The Lysosomes job is like a janitor. it holds and cleans the food and bacteria in the cell.
What carries digestive enzymes capable of destroying such foreign material as bacteria?
Lysosomes
Can you name the 2 organelles that contain their own genetic material?
mitochondria and lysosomes
Where is the cell's recycling center?
Lysosomes are considered the cells recycling center OR the recycle bin of the cells. These organelles are basically vessicles containing acids and enzymes in their interior that degrade the waste material of the cell.
Name The structure found in a phagosome which is used to digest material?
lysosomes connect to the encased solid and break it down
What enters a cell and becomes part of the cell's hereditary material without destroying the cell or replication itself?
lysosomes
What are the functions of lytic enzymes?
Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.
What is the two organelles that contain their own genetic material?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts. The question asks for organelles with their OWN genetic material. The material from the nucleus already belongs to the cell. Those two evolved from symbiotic prokaryotes and maintain their own DNA.
What organelle contains digestive enzymes?
Lysosomes, they are the disposal system of the cell.
