Everyone has lysosomes, they are necessary for us surviving past the earliest stages of life. However, if the lysosomes aren't working properly, then several problems occur. There are roughly 40 lysosomal storage diseases, all characterised by the lack of hydrolytic enzymes that give lysomsomes their function and the build up of polysaccaides and lipids that lysosomes are given the task of digesting or recycling.
One of the most famous lysosomal storage diseases is Tay-Sachs disease. In Tay-Sachs, lysosomes cannot prcess a certain glycolipid called ganglioside GM2. This builds up on nervous tissue and results in the dimentia, paralysis, blindness, and eventually death that is classic in any infant suffereing from the disease.

∙ 13y agoThis question is a strange one because the lysosome is an organelle. I'm not sure how to answer this. It's like asking what happens if a dog doesn't have a canine. Do you mean what would happen if it didn't have a membrane? In that case the cell itself would die.

∙ 13y agoWell I would say that the cells dead organels would make the cell die from infection.

What would happen to a cell that lacked lysosomes?
the cell die from infection.
What Cell would be best for studying lysosomes?
bacterial cell
What organelle is involved in programmed cell death?
The organelle lysosome is involved in the programmed cell death.
If there was a foreign invader body in the cell what organelle would attackdestroy it?
lysosomes
Where is the cell's recycling center?
Lysosomes are considered the cells recycling center OR the recycle bin of the cells. These organelles are basically vessicles containing acids and enzymes in their interior that degrade the waste material of the cell.
What would happen to a cell that lacked lysosomes?
the cell die from infection.
What happen if cell do not have lysosomes?
If a cell did not have any lysosomes or had a shortage of them, then the waste materials or damaged materials would build up, and eventually lead to infection and the later the death of the cell
What would happen if the lysosome were to open up in a cell?
Since lysosomes are vacuoles containing cell digestion enzymes, the cell would be digested from the inside out.
What would happen to an animal cell if it had no lysomes?
Without lysosomes, Old or dangerous materials could build up in damage or killed the cell.
How can defective lysosomes result in excess accumulation of a particular compound in cell?
Lysosomes are also known as suicide bags of cell because during certain conditions enzymes in lysosomes will kill the cell. If this doesn 't happen there will be more.
What would happen if the covering of the lysosome break down?
the lysosomes is the one protecting the cell next to the memebrane. the lysosome contains hydrolitic enzymes. this hydrolitic enzymes serves as the pioson inside the lysosomes. and it could destroy the whole cell.
What Cell would be best for studying lysosomes?
bacterial cell
Where would old cell organelles be digested to be recycled in the cell?
lysosomes
Where would a old cell be broken down to be recycled in the cell?
in the lysosomes
What cell breaks down food molecules cell wast and worn out cell parts?
it's not the mitochondria, it's lysosomes. mitochondria is composed of proteins and enzymes.
What would happen an animal cell if it had no lysosomes?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. The enzymes destroy worn-out or damages organelles, wastes and invading particles. Lysosomes are found mainly in animal cells. The cell wraps itself around a particle and encloses it in a vesicle. Lysosomes bump into the vesicle and pour enzymes into it. The enzymes break down the particles inside the vesicle. Without lysosomes, old and dangerous materials could build up and damage or kill the cell.
