Because the lisosome, an enzyme, cannot deffrentiate the host from the food. So basically, it will degrade everything it encounters. In this case, intracellular digestion is a means of self-protection.
The Golgi apparatus produces Lysosomes which will fuse with any incoming vesicles to digest enclosed material.
lysosome. The prefix "lyso-" means decomposition.
lysosome. The prefix "lyso-" means decomposition.
The Golgi apparatus. It creates lysosomes.Lysosome: Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes necessary for intracellular digestion. They are common in animal cells, but rare in plant cells.
lysosome
lysosome
The organelle primarily responsible for intracellular digestion.
Digestion which takes place within the cytoplasm of the organism, as in many unicellular protozoans.
In the process of intracellular digestion, lysosomes are the main organelles. Lysosomes contain enzymes that are made by cells, and their primary function is to digest things.
Intracellular
The primary site of intracellular digestion are the lysosomes.
endoplasmic reticulum
A sac bounded by a single membrane is called a lysosome. This organelle is present only in animal cells and contributes in intracellular digestion.
Unicellular eukaryotes achieve intracellular digestion through the process of endocytosis, phagocytosis, and use of food vacuoles and lysosomes. A paramecium is an example of an organism that uses intracellular digestion vs. humans which utilize extracellular digestion.
No. its intracellular.
Lysosomes are the organelles that are responsible for breaking down the cellular waste in animal cells. Lysosomes are located in the cytoplasm of the cell.
