When a cell is deprived of oxygen its lysosomes tend to burst and release their contents into a cell what happens to the cell?

Since lysosomes produce digestive enzymes, the cell will literally start to eat itself. Lysosomes even do this on purpose sometimes to recycle old cells. That's why the lysosomes are nicknamed suicide sacks.

What is the function of lysosome in animal cell?
Lysosomes contain enzymes for compound breakdown. Often lysosomes fuse with phagosomes(contain substances from outside of the cell) in order to digest material. Lysosomes contain enzymes like proteases, phospholipases, etc... Lysosomes also have H+ ion pumps in the membrane in order to decreases the pH which denatures molecules and activates the enzymes. Lysosomes are also important in cell activated suicide. When the cell receives a signal for autolysis a signal is sent to the lysosomes which release its contents into the cytoplas, and result in cell death. Hope that helps. -Yes, it did. Thx!(:
What organelle digest enzymes helps the cell to commit suicide?
Lysosomes involve in self digestion.They release protiolitc enzymes.
What is a exocytotic visicle?
An exocytotic vesicle is a membrane bound vesicle containing contents intended for release into the external environment. The vesicle will ultimately be fused with the cell membrane when its contents are released.
What is the meaning of generalized cell?
Plasma Membrane- External boundary of the cell- Confines cell contents; regulates entry and exit of materials Lysosomes- Scattered in cytoplasm- Digest ingested materials and worn-out organelles Mitochondrion- Scattered throughout the cell- Control release of energy from food; from ATP Microvilli- Projections of the plasma membrane- Increase the membrane surface area Golgi apparatus- Near the nucleus ( in the cytoplasm )- Packages proteins to be incorporated into the plasma membrane or lysosomes or exported from the cell
How do phagocytes get rid of pathogens?
The pathogens Lysosomes release Lysins (enzymes) which digest the bacteria. Harmless products of digestion are absorbed.
What happens to a vesicles in exocytosis?
The vesicle fuses with the cell membrane, releasing it's contents.
Can you deficate when you die?
Yes this sometimes happens. This is due to your body muscles relaxing after death, it can be common for the bladder to release its contents as well.
How lysosomes would be involved in changing caterpillar into a butterfly?
Organelles called lysosomes release enzymes that tell the rest of the cell part their rolls in the metamorphoses
What happens if a cell does not produce the enzymes that lysosomes need in order to function?
Lysosomes are rich in many hydrolyzing enzymes.Depending on the main functions of lysosomes, the following events can happen:Digestion of external particles. Lysosomes of leucocytes will not be able to digest proteins, bacteria and viruses.Digestion of intracellular substances. Lysosomes will not be able to digest stored materials like proteins, fats and glycogen to provide energy to the starved cells. In plant cells, lysosomes will not hydrolyze stored material in germinating seeds.Autolysis. Lysosomes will not be able to digest functional cell organelles, as required under certain physiological conditions. Thus, they may not assist in autophagy causing death of a cell.Extracellular digestion. If hydrolytic enzymes are not produced, they cannot be liberated outside the cell, when necessary. For example, the lysosomes of sperm will not release enzymes which dissolve the protective coating of ovum.

What is a process by which cells release their contents?
Exocytosis is the process by which cells release their contents in form of vesicles. This may also happen due to diffusion.
Is extended release in the coating or the contents of the pill?
yes
What is the generator of the cell?
Plasma Membrane- External boundary of the cell- Confines cell contents; regulates entry and exit of materials Lysosomes- Scattered in cytoplasm- Digest ingested materials and worn-out organelles Mitochondrion- Scattered throughout the cell- Control release of energy from food; from ATP Microvilli- Projections of the plasma membrane- Increase the membrane surface area Golgi apparatus- Near the nucleus ( in the cytoplasm )- Packages proteins to be incorporated into the plasma membrane or lysosomes or exported from the cell
Where are lysomes synthesised in a cell?
Enzymes of the lysosomes are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and carried to Golgi apparatus which will release them in small vesicles which ultimately fuse with acidic vesicles called endosomes, thus becoming full lysosomes.
What are the release dates for Shoot for the Contents - 1992?
Shoot for the Contents - 1992 was released on: USA: January 1992 (Sundance Film Festival)
Sequence the course of the newly made proteins from the rough er to the outside of the cell?
Ribosomes make proteins on the rough ER. The proteins are packages into vesicles. The vesicles transport the newly made proteins from the rough ER to the Golgi apparautus. In the Golgi apparautus, proteins are pocessed and then packages into new versicles. Many of these varsicles move to the cells membran and release their contents outside the cell.
What organelle digest enzymes helps the cell to commit suicide?
Lysosomes involve in self digestion.They release protiolitc enzymes.
