How is lysosome adapted for what it does?

Lysosomes are adapted for their function of breaking down cellular waste and debris through containing enzymes that can digest a variety of molecules. They have a low internal pH that is optimal for the activity of these enzymes, and they are membrane-bound to prevent their hydrolytic enzymes from damaging the rest of the cell. Additionally, lysosomes can fuse with other cellular components to degrade and recycle their contents.


Why do animal cels need a lysosome?

They're chambers which contain digestive enzymes, mostly important because their membrane is not digested by those enzymes. If the lysosome were to rupture, those enzymes would digest parts of the cell that need to stay intact. They take those enzymes to particles the cell has "eaten" to digest it and they also digest parts of the cell to recycle.


What are two basic ways that cells can digest a substance?

Cells can digest substances through intracellular digestion, where enzymes break down molecules inside the cell's cytoplasm, or through extracellular digestion, where enzymes are secreted outside the cell to break down larger substances before they are absorbed.


Where does the exoenzymes participate in a chemical reaction?

Exoenzymes participate in chemical reactions outside of the cell, where they break down larger molecules into smaller ones that can be taken up by the cell for energy or other purposes. These enzymes are typically secreted by the cell to digest substrates in the external environment before they are imported into the cell.


Why must fungi digest their food before it can pass through the cell wall into the hyphae?

Fungi must digest their food outside the cell because they secrete enzymes to break down complex molecules into simpler ones that can be absorbed. The nutrients are then absorbed through the cell wall into the hyphae for further transport and utilization by the fungal organism.
