Where are poisons and waste and detoxified in a cell?
They are sent out of the cells via lysosomes.
Which part of a cell is like a custodian?
The janitor/custodian of a cell is the lysosomes. The lysosomes break down food, old cells, and broken cells. The janitor/custodian cleans up the wastes/place and takes the wastes somewhere where it will get broken down.
What would happen to a cell if its lysosomes ruptured?
Well since lysosomes contain digestive materials meaning there highly acidic, I'm guessing it would affect the other [arts of the cell.
Why is turgor pressure not a characteristic of animal cells?
Animal cells do not have cell walls (as in the case of plant cells). When they absorb too much water, they will not build up turgor pressure but lyse (burst). This is because there is no cell wall to oppose water from entering the animal cell.
What would happen if we didnt have a cell wall in our cells?
Without cell membranes there would be no cells! The cell membrane defines the boundary between cell and "noncell".
When a cell is deprived of oxygen its lysosomes tend to burst and release their contents into a cell what happens to the cell?
Since lysosomes produce digestive enzymes, the cell will literally start to eat itself. Lysosomes even do this on purpose sometimes to recycle old cells. That's why the lysosomes are nicknamed suicide sacks.
Which organelle would you associate with elimination of old worn out cell?
The elimination of old and worn out cells is done by a cell organelle called lysosomes. It is also called the waste disposal system of a cell.This lysosomes has powerful digestive enzymes that break down all organic organelles.When a cell is about to be destroyed, this lysosomes burst and the digestive enzymes will spread everywhere in the cells. So, the cell becomes completely destroyed. So, the lysosomes are also called the suicidal bags of a cell.
When does self digesting of lysosomes in cells take place?
The lysosomes digest worn out cell parts or pathogens whenever they are present. However, when certain genes that trigger tumors arise, the cell can send a signal to lysosomes to burst, releasing all their digestive enzymes to eat the cell from inside out.
Where are lysosomes found in a plant cell?
== == It varies from cell to cell. For example, if a cell is specifically made for fighting diseases and controlling bacteria in the body, then it would contain more lysosomes to help rid the body of bacteria.
What is a cell that has no lysosomes and no cell wall?
That cell does not exist lysosomes are only found in animal cells but cell walls are only found in plant cells
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.
Are lysosomes in skin cells?
Yes, Lysosomes are in all animal cells. Lysosomes remove any waste and bacteria in a cell. This organelle also recycles worn out cell parts.
Do humans cells contain centrioles and lysosomes?
yes, humans and animals have lysosomes, along with plant cells. But in the case of lysosomes in plants, the vacuoles take the lysosomes place. The lysosomes are the digestive system in a cell and they energize the cell by digesting proteins. :)
What cell types would be expected to be especially enriched in lysosomes?
The secretory cell i.e the epithelial cells of stomach, or cells of glands etc are mostly rich in lysosomes. Because lysosome works as secretory vesicles.
Are lysosomes the same thing as a cell wall?
No, lysosomes are the cells digestive system, while the cell wall is the turgor pressure maintainer of plant cells.
Are there lysosomes in animal cells?
Yes, there are lysosomes in animal cells. This is where cellular digestion of debris and waste occurs in the cell.
Is muscle cell best way to study lysosomes?
no, phagocyctic white blood cells would provide the best opportunity to study lysosomes.
