What is the most primary function of lysosomes?
Lysosomes hold enzymes that were created by the cell. The purpose of the lysosome is to digest things. They might be used to digest food or break down the cell when it dies.
Main organelles of intracellular digestion?
In the process of intracellular digestion, lysosomes are the main organelles. Lysosomes contain enzymes that are made by cells, and their primary function is to digest things.
What are enzymes inside of cells called?
Enzymes are proteins, which are comprised of chains of amino acids. All enzymes are proteins (but not all proteins are enzymes)
What happens when a lysosome fuses with a vacuole?
Vacuoles store things, so it would make sense that food vacuoles store food. Lysosomes digest things into smaller usable materials (or destroy them) so lysosomes will attach to food vacuoles so they can efficiently digest food. The vacuole to store the food waiting to be digested by the lysosome.
Enzymes inside lysosomes digest what?
Lysosomal digestion is the use of lysosomes (enzymes contained in vesicles) to break down substances that enter a cell by endocytosis. Usually the substances they break down are harmful to the cell.
What feature contains Digestive enzymes which break things down?
Lysosomes
What is the sac of enzymes that digest things?
lysosome
What cellular organelle is especially abundant in phagocyte white blood cells?
Phagocytic white blood cells contain a large number of lysosomes. These organelles contain enzymes that break down waste and cellular debris - which is why phagocytes (which engulf and digest things) contain many lysosomes.
What is the role of lysosomes in the cell?
Lysosomes can be used to destroy bacteria that invade body cells. They also serve an important function in the embryonic development of fingers and toes. So basicly, they digest and recycle cell components. -Hope this helps
How do you know that the Lysosomes are the most involved in breaking down of food molecules?
You know because Lysosomes are what helps us digest things. Scientists expirimented with it. (this is a guess, not an exact answer)
What might you find in lysosomes?
peoxea, lochea, hankea, notys, and archea.
What function does lysosomes perform in a cell?
Lysosomes degrade proteins. The kind of proteins they degrade are brought into the cell by endocytosis - they do not degrade proteins that are resident in the cell, proteasomes do that . Lysosomes fuse with the protein to be degraded and release the special class of enzymes they carry, hydrolases, that do the actual break down process. Lysosomes are also the key factor in ridding a cell of H2O2 in a cell, hence the hydrolases.
