Does a cell that secretes a large quantity of proteins have a larger number of lysosomes for this function?

Yes, a cell that secretes a large quantity of proteins typically has a larger number of lysosomes. Lysosomes help in digesting and processing proteins within the cell before they can be secreted outside. More lysosomes enable the cell to handle the increased protein secretion efficiently.


What organelle is responsible for the secretion of waste products from the cell?

The lysosome is responsible for the secretion of waste products from the cell. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, which are then removed from the cell through a process called exocytosis.


Are lysosomes phospholipids?

Yes, lysosomes contain a wide variety of enzymes that help to digest nutrients.


Does the Golgi apparatus function only in secretion?

No, it also modifies proteins and synthesizes the lysosomes for two additional tasks.


Lysosomes can be expected to be present in large numbers in cells which?

Lysosomes are present in larger numbers in cells with higher metabolic activity, such as phagocytes (cells that ingest and destroy foreign particles) and secretory cells (cells that produce and release substances). These cells require more lysosomes to help in cellular waste disposal and secretion processes. Cells with high rates of autophagy, the process of self-degradation to maintain cellular homeostasis, also have a higher number of lysosomes.


What are organelles containing digestive enzymes called?

Lysosomes are the organelles that have digestive enzymes. The main purpose of these organelles is to help with the digestion process.


Which organelles are filled with enzymes that help destroy and dissolve unneeded cell structure as well as invading foreign matter?

lysosomes


What gives rise to lysosomes and vesicles?

Golgi apparatus gives rise to both lysosomes and vesicles. The most likely explanation for the bad taste of meat that has freezer burn from repeated freezing is the destruction of lysosomes and resultant autodigestion.


What organelles or structures are associated with secretion?

Organelles associated with secretion are the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, secretory vesicles, and lysosomes. These organelles work together in the secretory pathway to package, modify, and transport proteins and other molecules out of the cell.

Which organelles digest large molecules and old worn out organelles?

i believe the organelle that is responsible for digesting damaged or worn-out organelles are lysosomes. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that help in recycling the old unhelpful organelles.


Do humans cells contain centrioles and lysosomes?

yes, humans and animals have lysosomes, along with plant cells. But in the case of lysosomes in plants, the vacuoles take the lysosomes place. The lysosomes are the digestive system in a cell and they energize the cell by digesting proteins. :)
