Why don't plants have lysosomes?
Plants do not have lysosomes because they have vacuoles that serve similar functions. Vacuoles in plant cells help with digestion, waste removal, and storage of nutrients, which are roles typically performed by lysosomes in animal cells. Plants have evolved alternative structures to perform these functions effectively without the need for lysosomes.
Why is Golgi body Lysosome Ribosome Centrioles in animal cell but not in plant cell?
Plant cells do have Golgi bodies, lysosomes, and ribosomes, but they may be less prominent or structured differently compared to animal cells. Centrioles are absent in most plant cells, as the functions they perform in animal cells are carried out by other structures in plant cells like the microtubule organizing centers.
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. :)
What is the clean up crew of a cell?
The clean up crew of a cell consists of organelles such as lysosomes and peroxisomes, which are responsible for breaking down and recycling cellular waste and debris. They help maintain cellular cleanliness and prevent the accumulation of unwanted materials that could potentially harm the cell.
What are the functions of a lysosome in a cell?
Lysosomes function as the cell's "garbage disposal," breaking down cellular waste, old organelles, and foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses through the process of hydrolysis. They also play a role in recycling cellular components by breaking down macromolecules into their basic building blocks for reuse by the cell. Additionally, lysosomes can initiate cell death (apoptosis) by releasing enzymes that cause the breakdown of cellular components.
What is the functions of lysosomes of an animal cell?
It digests waste particles;breaks down food and cleans up the cell.
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.
Why do scientists sometimes say that plant cell vesicles are just large lysosmes?
Scientists may describe plant cell vesicles as large lysosomes because both structures share some similarities in their functions. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down materials, while plant cell vesicles are responsible for storing and transporting various substances within the cell. In some cases, the functions of lysosomes and plant cell vesicles may overlap, leading scientists to make this comparison.
Lysosomes arise from the golgi apparatus and have several functions what is one of the functions?
Lysosomes are organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. One of their functions is to fuse with a vesicle, and break down its contents.
What is the digest Center in a cell?
The lysosome is the organelle within a cell that serves as its digestion center. Lysosomes use enzymes to carry out those functions.
What cell organelles are responsible for disposing cellular waste?
lysosomes are the "recycling center" of the cell
What moves materials in the cell?
lysosomes lysosomes
What cell contains protein-digesting enzymes?
Lysosomes
Which part of a cell is like a custodian?
The janitor/custodian of a cell is the lysosomes. The lysosomes break down food, old cells, and broken cells. The janitor/custodian cleans up the wastes/place and takes the wastes somewhere where it will get broken down.
Does the lysosomes select what goes in and out of the cell?
No,lysosomes do not do that.It is performed by cell membrane.
What organelle contains digestive enzymes?
Lysosomes, they are the disposal system of the cell.
What is rough endoplasmic reticulum functions?
It helps in protein synthesis as well as packaging of materials into lysosomes and secretory activities of cell.
