Lysosomes is a cell organelle which contains enzymes that digest the injured or worn out part of cell. If a cell ruptures or dies the lysosome present in the cell burst to release enzymes. These organelles are also called 'digestive bag' and 'suicide bag'. During metamorphosis in tadpole the tail is digested by lysosomes.

Some protazoans have a contractile vacuole which is an organ that pumps water out of cells. Other cells don't have these and instead water moves out by osmosis.


What do lysosme do in a animal cell?

Lysosome are cellular organelles found in animal cells. Lysosomes hold specialized enzymes that help body digest food, fight bacteria, remove waste and unwanted cells.


What is the function of a lysosme?

A lysosome is an organelle responsible for breaking down unwanted materials, such as waste molecules or old organelles, within the cell. It contains enzymes that aid in the digestion and recycling of these materials to maintain cellular health and function.


What would be the most likely outcome if the ribosomes of a cell were damaged and stopped functioning?

If ribosomes in a cell were damaged and stopped functioning, protein synthesis would be disrupted. This could lead to a decrease in cell function, impaired growth and development, and ultimately cell death.


Is lysosme found in plant cells?

Yes, they are present in plant cells. There are less in plant cells than in animal cells.


Non living thing similar to lysosome?

Vacuole is a non-living organelle in plant and fungal cells that shares similarities with lysosomes. Both organelles are involved in the breakdown and recycling of cellular waste and materials. They also help maintain cell structure and balance within the cell.


Is the lysosme found in animal or plant cells?

Only in animal cells. Plant's central vacuoles can do the lysosome job there to a great extent.

What are the 3 differences between plant cell and animal cell?

A Plant cell has a chloroplast whereas an animal cell does not. A plant cell has a large prominent vacuole whereas an animal does not have a large vacuole. It may only have small vacuoles though in some no vacuoles will be seen. A plant cell has a cell wall whereas an animal cell does not.
