Because the lisosome, an enzyme, cannot deffrentiate the host from the food. So basically, it will degrade everything it encounters. In this case, intracellular digestion is a means of self-protection.
Digestion which takes place within the cytoplasm of the organism, as in many unicellular protozoans.
The organelle primarily responsible for intracellular digestion.
In the process of intracellular digestion, lysosomes are the main organelles. Lysosomes contain enzymes that are made by cells, and their primary function is to digest things.
Intracellular
The primary site of intracellular digestion are the lysosomes.
A sac bounded by a single membrane is called a lysosome. This organelle is present only in animal cells and contributes in intracellular digestion.
Centipede digestion is intracellular. They have a digestive system where food is broken down within specialized cells through intracellular processes.
Unicellular eukaryotes achieve intracellular digestion through the process of endocytosis, phagocytosis, and use of food vacuoles and lysosomes. A paramecium is an example of an organism that uses intracellular digestion vs. humans which utilize extracellular digestion.
No. its intracellular.
Lysosomes are the organelles that are responsible for breaking down the cellular waste in animal cells. Lysosomes are located in the cytoplasm of the cell.
The Golgi Apparatus aka Golgi Complex produces lysozomes which will combine with it and digest them. If you are wondering what a Golgi Apparatus is then it is basically a "warehouse" to store and export proteins. The proteins come from the ribosomes which creates them.
It is extracellular
