Lysosomes can be used to destroy bacteria that invade body cells. They also serve an important function in the embryonic development of fingers and toes.
So basicly, they digest and recycle cell components.
-Hope this helps
the purpose of lysosomes is to digest large cell organelles (cell 'organs') and recycle the resources used to make it (e.g. amino acids, nucleic acids, fatty acids etc.)
The purpose of the lysosome is to digest things in the cell.
Lysosomes are small, spherical organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They contain digestive enzymes, meaning they help in digestion.
Hope that helps!
the function of the cell lysosome is to basically store things and clean up things in a cell. Basically it is like the maid or janitor of the cell.
It is full of hydrolytic enzymes that can be used in phagocytosis, the digestion of food particles, or in autophagy, the destruction of worn out organelles.
During endocytosis, the vesicles merge with the lysosomes. The lysosomes then proceed to break down the material of the cell and get rid of the waste.
The organelle lysosome is involved in the programmed cell death.
Lysosomes's role in metabolism is digestion.
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that enclose hydrolytic enzymes. They basically allow cells to break-down material (such as nutrients in regular cells, or phagocytosed pathogens in immune cells.)
It appears the answer is the lysosome. Look up ("clean up" "cell") on Google, and there are references to the lysosomes being the clean up crew of the cell.
lysosomes play a role in drug action...
Lysosomes contain enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown of waste products and debris within the cell.
Lysosomes are also known as "suicide sacs" because of their autolysis role, wherein a damaged cell ruptures its lysosomes and in effect digests itself.
During endocytosis, the vesicles merge with the lysosomes. The lysosomes then proceed to break down the material of the cell and get rid of the waste.
it's not the mitochondria, it's lysosomes. mitochondria is composed of proteins and enzymes.
The lysosome breaks down waste materials and is responsible for apoptosis.
The organelle lysosome is involved in the programmed cell death.
lysosomes are the "recycling center" of the cell

No,lysosomes do not do that.It is performed by cell membrane.
