The lysosomes are responsible for not only the degradation of organelles and the long-lived proteins, but they are also responsible for the repair of the plasma membrane and selective degradation of proteins, release of endocytosed material and removal of certain pathogens. When the lysosome membrane breaks down the cell is on a pathway to either apoptosis (neurogeneration and aging), autophagy (eating oneself), or necrosis (death from within).

What is a membranebound structure that contains digestive enzymes called?
A membrane-bound structure that contains digestive enzymes is called a lysosome. Lysosomes play a crucial role in breaking down cellular waste and foreign materials, such as bacteria and cellular debris, into simpler molecules that can be recycled or eliminated from the cell.
What are organelles that play a major role in the cell division?
The cell membrane. But if the cell is a plant cell, the cell membrane and cell wall work together to accomplish this task.
What role do membranes play in prokaryotes?
Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane bound organelles. The membrane controls the movement in and out of the cell.
What role do the cell wall and cell membrane play in a cell?
It is important to remember the following: Animal cell: Cell membrane, Plant cell: Cell membrane, cell wall. The role of a cell membrane is to monitor what exits and enters the cell and therefore maintain the internal environment of it, to contain the contents of the cell and to provide some sort of protection for it. The role of a cell wall which is unique only to plant cells, is to protect the cell inside and lend support to it so it can maintain its stucture.
How do the endoplasmic reticulum and cell membrane work together?
The ER, does not only play a major role in creating protiens, but also helps transport proitiens to the cell membrane. Here they can then leave the cell if needed.

What role do cell membrane play in prokaryotic cell In eukaryotic cell?
In Prokaryotic cells, membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell, they also give the cell a shape and keep organells together.
What are organelles that play a major role in the cell division?
The cell membrane. But if the cell is a plant cell, the cell membrane and cell wall work together to accomplish this task.
What role of the cell membrane and cell wall play in the cell?
Separate the living organism from the nonliving environment around it.
How is Play-Doh like a cell membrane?
Its really gushy and you can mold it

What does the lyososome do in the animal cell?
Lysosomes are small cell organelles that contain acid hydrolases enzymes. Lysosomes are formed from Golgi complex and each lysosomes is covered by single membrane. These are non-specific, meaning can act on any type of substances. The function of lysosomes in the cell is to fuse with food vacuole and deliver the enzymes present in it. Now the food in the food vacuole is digested and absorbed. Lysosomes also help in digesting the cell itself from inside out. Hence, called suicidal bags of cells. This is much helpful in a process called apoptosis (programmed cell death). They digest excess and worn out cell organelles. In case of phagocytes, these play an vital role in a process called phagocytosis.

The ER, does not only play a major role in creating protiens, but also helps transport proitiens to the cell membrane. Here they can then leave the cell if needed.
What organelle allows the cell to maintain its shape?
the cell membrane or cell wall, depending on the type of cell. microtubules also play a part in giving the cell structure.
Do lipids play a important fact in the cell Membrane?
Yes - they make up most of it.
