Lysosomes are also known as suicide bags of cell because during certain conditions enzymes in lysosomes will kill the cell. If this doesn 't happen there will be more.

What is it called when a compound cannot be solvated?

When a compound cannot be solvated, it is referred to as insoluble. This means the compound does not dissolve in a particular solvent under specified conditions.


What chemical change may be used to break down a compound?

How many atoms are in a particular element are in a compound?

The number of atoms of a particular element in a compound can vary depending on the chemical formula of the compound. You can determine the number of atoms by looking at the subscripts in the chemical formula. For example, in H2O (water), there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.


What is the function of lysosome in animal cell?

Lysosomes contain enzymes for compound breakdown. Often lysosomes fuse with phagosomes(contain substances from outside of the cell) in order to digest material. Lysosomes contain enzymes like proteases, phospholipases, etc... Lysosomes also have H+ ion pumps in the membrane in order to decreases the pH which denatures molecules and activates the enzymes. Lysosomes are also important in cell activated suicide. When the cell receives a signal for autolysis a signal is sent to the lysosomes which release its contents into the cytoplas, and result in cell death. Hope that helps. -Yes, it did. Thx!(:

Which cellular components could NOT be seen with a compound microscope?

Organelles such as ribosomes, lysosomes, and microfilaments are too small to be visible with a compound microscope. Additionally, viruses and molecules are also not visible with this type of microscope.


How do lysosomes work?

vacuoles basically have the same functions as vesicles therefore, in plant cells, when lysosomes are fused with the vacuole, the contents within the vacuole are digested by lysosomes' hydrolytic enzymes into the simpler subunits. Remember that vacuoles not only store H2O, sugar and salt, but also pigments and toxic molecules. The digested contents are now simpler molecules that are released into the cytoplasm. Also, normal rejuvination occurs when parts of a cell are digested within its own lysosomes (autodigestion).
