Why is lysosomes in the cell a vital role?

Answer 1

Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses and bacteria. Doing these actions in a membrane-bound organelle allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require without affecting the rest of the cell. It also plays a role in autolysis (cell suicide).

Answer 2

Lysosome is an organelle inside only eukaryotic cell that contains digestive enzymes. These enzymes break down food, waste materials, and pathogens.

Answer 3

Lysosomes are important because they just are.

Answer 4

Organelles are important to a cell because they are like organs in a human. Without organelles a cell would not be able to do anything, would not be able to do its job, and would be dead.

Answer 5

Lysosomes are important to eukaryotic cells because they contain digestive enzimes

Answer 6

The lysosome breaks down waste materials and is responsible for apoptosis.
