Paneth cells
In addition to defensins, Paneth cells secrete lysozyme[6], tumor necrosis factor-alpha[6] , and phospholipase A2.[citation needed] Lysozyme and phospholipase A2 both have clear antimicrobial activity. This battery of secretory molecules gives Paneth cells a potent arsenal against a broad spectrum of agents, including bacteria, fungi and even some enveloped viruses.

What will happen if a bacterial cell is placed in distilled water with lysozyme?
lysozyme will diffuse in to the cell
What does a lysosome of a plant cell do?
It's the digestive system of the cell
Can you name a cell in the digestive system?
yes
How does the circulatory system depend on the digestive system?
The circulation system gives oxygen to the digestive system organs to keep them alive and carries nutrients from the digestive system to every cell in the body.
What organelles act as the digestive system for a cell?
The Lysosomes
What is the part of a cell that could be compared to the digestive system?
The lysosome in an animal cell.
Blood picks up what from the digestive system and take it to the cell?
The circulatory system picks up nutrients from the digestive system and takes them to the cells. Absorption is the process of moving the nutrients from the digestive system to the circulatory system.
Why are tears considered to be a nonspecific mechanism of the immune system?
Because tear contains lysozyme, an enzyme that destroys bacterial cell wall.
What is the description of a iysosome?
An Iysosome is a cell used in the digestive system that helps to carry out the digestive functions.
Does lysozyme cause mutations in bacterial cell wall molecules?
No .
Which linkage breaks lysozyme in bacterial cell wall?
Bacterial cell walls contain a layer of peptidoglycan, which is the specific site that lysozyme attacks.The layer contains alternating molecules called N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid.These molecules form a strong chain that acts as the backbone for the cell wall. The link between the two is cleaved by lysozyme. Once this chain is broken by lysozyme, it results in bacterial death.
Which is found in tears that damages bacteria by attacking the cell walls?
Lysozyme
