What else can I help you with?
What breaks down substances in a cell?
The lysosome.
Which vacuole-like strucrures break down and recycle cell parts?
The lysosome is the organelle that breaks down molecules.
What is a membranebound structure that contains digestive enzymes called?
A membrane-bound structure that contains digestive enzymes is called a lysosome. Lysosomes play a crucial role in breaking down cellular waste and foreign materials, such as bacteria and cellular debris, into simpler molecules that can be recycled or eliminated from the cell.
How come the enzyme inside the lysosome does not digest the wall of lysosome?
because the lysosome cannot release its contents unless nearby cells allow it.
Why it is important to have pH aroun 5 in lysosome?
The lysosome is full of hydrolytic enzymes that work best at about 5 pH, so the lysosome has membrane integral proteins that constant pump H + into the lumen of the lysosome to keep the interior solution acidic.
Which cell organelle is responsible for the digestion of the bacteria?
I believe the answer you are looking for is lysosomes. Lysosomes are common in animal cells, but not so much in plants, and they contain hydrolytic enzymes that aid in intracellular digestion. Basically, when white blood cells eat bacteria, lysomes are released onto the bacteria, which kills them (and breaks them down.) The process is called necrotic cell death.
What is the porpouse lysosome?
The lysosome is called the recycle bin on the cell. This organelle is essentially a pouch filled with hydrolytic digestive enzyme that break down unused proteins, worn out organelles and ingested bacteria and viruses.
What is the main function of a lysosome in cellular processes?
The main function of a lysosome in cellular processes is to break down and recycle cellular waste and debris, as well as to digest and destroy foreign invaders such as bacteria or viruses.
The diagram represents a white blood cell engulfing some bacteria The structure labeled X is most likely a?
a vacoule
What is the job of the lysosmes?
The primary function of a lysosome is to break down waste materials like food particles or swallowed viruses or bacteria. It also digests worn out organelles. It is basically the stomach of an animal cell.
What is a lysosome that eats or ingests a bacterium?
A lysosome is a cell organelle containing enzymes that can digest cellular waste and foreign particles, like bacteria, through a process called phagocytosis. During phagocytosis, the lysosome fuses with the phagosome containing the ingested bacterium, releasing digestive enzymes to break down and destroy the invader.
What kind of a cell is a Lysosome found in?
They are found in both animal cells and plant cells. The animal cell is smaller than the lysosome in the plant cell.
Can lysosome be found in the cytoplasm?
Lysosome is an organell.So it can be found in cytoplasm.
What breaks down substances in a cell?
The lysosome.
What organelles is the trash can of the cell?
Lysosome, or vesicles or vacuoles.
What is the job in the cell lysosome?
What is the lysosome job in the animal cell?
Which vacuole-like strucrures break down and recycle cell parts?
The lysosome is the organelle that breaks down molecules.
