Paneth cells
In addition to defensins, Paneth cells secrete lysozyme[6], tumor necrosis factor-alpha[6] , and phospholipase A2.[citation needed] Lysozyme and phospholipase A2 both have clear antimicrobial activity. This battery of secretory molecules gives Paneth cells a potent arsenal against a broad spectrum of agents, including bacteria, fungi and even some enveloped viruses.
What else can I help you with?
What does a lysosome of a plant cell do?
It's the digestive system of the cell
Can you name a cell in the digestive system?
yes
How does the circulatory system depend on the digestive system?
The circulation system gives oxygen to the digestive system organs to keep them alive and carries nutrients from the digestive system to every cell in the body.
What will happen if a bacterial cell is placed in distilled water with lysozyme?
The bacterial cell will undergo osmotic lysis due to the hypotonic environment created by the distilled water, causing water to enter the cell and potentially burst it. The presence of lysozyme will further damage the bacterial cell by breaking down its cell wall, making it more susceptible to lysis.
What organelles act as the digestive system for a cell?
The Lysosomes
What is the part of a cell that could be compared to the digestive system?
The lysosome in an animal cell.
How does lysozyme work to break down bacterial cell walls?
Lysozyme works by targeting and breaking down the bonds in the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, weakening the structure and causing the cell to burst.
Blood picks up what from the digestive system and take it to the cell?
The circulatory system picks up nutrients from the digestive system and takes them to the cells. Absorption is the process of moving the nutrients from the digestive system to the circulatory system.
Is gram-positive cell wall sensitive to lysozyme?
While lysozyme will break down the cell membrane of some gram positive bacteira, it does not affect all gram positives therefore it is not a suitable means of separating the two. Serial dilution would be a much more effective method.
What is the description of a iysosome?
An Iysosome is a cell used in the digestive system that helps to carry out the digestive functions.
Does lysozyme cause mutations in bacterial cell wall molecules?
No .
Which linkage breaks lysozyme in bacterial cell wall?
Bacterial cell walls contain a layer of peptidoglycan, which is the specific site that lysozyme attacks.The layer contains alternating molecules called N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid.These molecules form a strong chain that acts as the backbone for the cell wall. The link between the two is cleaved by lysozyme. Once this chain is broken by lysozyme, it results in bacterial death.
