The reason why a lysosome does not digest itself or the cell is because it has an inner membrane that is coated with glycocalyx. This membrane contains poly-lactosamine which prevents the digestive enzymes from gaining access.

What enzymes digest protein?
Enzymes dont digest proteins they act as cataylst to break down the protein, there is a difference. :D As one enzyme is specifc to one type of protein, there are a wide variety of them, For example. Amylose (in out saliva) is catalyst by amylase the enzyme. Lactose in dairy is cataylsed by the enzyme lactase. And Cellulose (in plant cell walls) is catalysted by Celluase.

A cell's digestive enzymes are enclosed in a membrane-bound organelle how can these molecules fuction in the cell?
since a digestive enzymes is a cell that eats away fat it should be coverd in a membrane because it does not need bacteria to run threw it. and incase you dont know what a membane is, it is a cell wall that keeps away bacteria,protects the cell itself and keeps away bacteria.
How does a cell wall work in an animal cell?
Animal cells dont have cell walls because they contain enzymes that break down the viral RNA

What is a paramecium's food intake?
Paramecium are unicellular, so they do not have multiple cells to compose an organ. However, most paramecium engulf the food by wrapping itself around it and bringing it inside the cell, using enzymes to break the food down and absorb the nutrients. The waste is excreted by pushing it out of the cell and into the environment.

What do mitochondria have that most other organelle dont have?

Do digestive enzymes slow down digestion?
no it dont enzymes breaks down the large molecules into small molecules
