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.


What breaks down nutrients in a cell?

Enzymes are the molecules that break down nutrients in a cell. They catalyze chemical reactions that convert complex molecules into simpler forms that can be used by the cell for energy or building blocks.


What does a nuceus of cell do?

The nucleus of a cell contains the cell's genetic material, including DNA, which instructs the cell on how to function and grow. It also regulates the cell's activities by controlling gene expression and coordinating cell division.


Is it true 11 Females dont digest alcohol as quickly as males so they are affected more easily than males?

Yes, it is widely recognized that females tend to metabolize alcohol more slowly than males due to differences in body composition and enzymes. This can lead to females feeling the effects of alcohol more quickly and strongly compared to males of the same weight consuming the same amount of alcohol.


A plant cell has two parts that animal cells do not have they are the?

These parts are the cell wall (animal cells just have a cell membrane) and the vacuole. Plants also have chloroplasts which animal cells do not have.

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.
