What is the function of lysosomes in a cell?

Answer 1

The lysosome is a vesicle that has digestive juices in it. when the cell becomes attacked by a germ, the lysosome bursts and releases the juice. then the cell eats itself and the germ is killed and the leftover organelles are reused by other cells.

Answer 2

• Break down of unwanted chemicals, toxins, organelles or cells
• Recycling of cellular material
• Digest the contents of feeding vacuoles
• Responsible for autolysis (self-digestion of cells)

Answer 3

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes. Their main function is to break down and recycle cellular waste materials, old organelles, and foreign substances that have been taken in by the cell. This process, known as autophagy, helps maintain cell homeostasis and provides the cell with raw materials for building new structures.

Answer 4

Lysosomes digest harmful bacteria or viruses that have been killed by white blood cells. They synthesize them into proteins or other substances to be used by the cell.

Answer 5

a lysosome eats up all the dead parts in the cell.
