What happens to damaged cell organelles?
They are digested.
What cell wastes are digested in organelles?
lysosomes
The process by which worn-out cell organelles are digested is called?
phagocytes
Where would old cell organelles be digested to be recycled in the cell?
lysosomes
What pair of organelles are thought to have originated from prokaryotes that were taken in but not digested?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Where would old cell organelles be broken down or digested to be recyled in the cell?
This occurs during a process called autophagy. Autophagosomes encircle damaged or old organelles. they then fuse with lysosomes where these organelles are broken down and digested. This takes place in the lysosome.
What organelle repairs other organelles?
Usually organelles are not repaired when they are broken. They simply get digested and recycled by the lysosome because the cell can always make more of a certain organelle.
Which organelles were once free-living protists that got eaten but not digested by larger cells?
chloroplasts; mitochondria
Enzymes in lysosomes digest organs why?
Enzymes in lysosomes do not digest organs but organelles. Old and/or damaged organelles are digested, because they may contain harmful chemicals and also they represent free "food".
Why are lysosomes so important to the health of a cell?
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess organelles, food particles, and viruses or bacteria. Once digested they are either recycled or expelled.
What is the fate of defective or malfunctioning organelles in cells?
The fate of defective or malfunctioning organelles in cells is normally decomposition. An organelle in the cell normally destroys non working organelles and then the cell creates a new one or dies.
How does the pizza get digested?
It is digested the same way your other food are digested.
