No! Lysosomes hydrolyze cellular material ( digest it ). The actual folding of proteins is done by a class of proteins called chaperons. Two types: chaperons and chaparonins. Also proteins fold naturally by the arrangement of the R groups on the constituent amino acids.

Which cell organelle is responsible for intracellular digestion?

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.

What organelle is responsible for the breakdown of cell products and waste?

The organelle responsible for the breakdown of cell products and waste is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down various molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, into their building blocks for recycling or disposal by the cell.

Are lysosomes proteins?

Lysosomes are rich in hydrolytic enzymes that can lyse ecery biomolecules including proteins. lysosomes are membrane bound organelles that has proteins in it. they are involved in cellular process such as phagocytosis, autophagy, clearing cellular debris, cell death etc.

What packages cell secretions and forms lysosomes?

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging cell secretions and forming lysosomes. It receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them, and then packages them into vesicles that can be transported within the cell or secreted outside.


Does a cell that secretes a large quantity of proteins have a larger number of lysosomes for this function?

Yes, a cell that secretes a large quantity of proteins typically has a larger number of lysosomes. Lysosomes help in digesting and processing proteins within the cell before they can be secreted outside. More lysosomes enable the cell to handle the increased protein secretion efficiently.


Do humans cells contain centrioles and lysosomes?

yes, humans and animals have lysosomes, along with plant cells. But in the case of lysosomes in plants, the vacuoles take the lysosomes place. The lysosomes are the digestive system in a cell and they energize the cell by digesting proteins. :)
