Used and faulty proteins in a cell are primarily broken down by the proteasome and lysosomes. The proteasome degrades proteins tagged with ubiquitin, which marks them for destruction. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down proteins, along with other macromolecules, through processes like autophagy. Together, these systems help maintain protein quality and cellular health.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call the organelle that breaks down lipids carbs and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell?
The organelle that breaks down lipids, carbs, and proteins into small molecules for use by the cell is called the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that aid in the digestion of these macromolecules, releasing nutrients that can be utilized by the cell.
What kills bacteria and breaks down connective tissue in the stomach?
The acidic environment in the stomach, primarily hydrochloric acid, helps kill bacteria by denaturing their proteins and breaking down their cell walls. Pepsin, an enzyme in the stomach, breaks down connective tissue in food by cleaving peptide bonds in proteins.
What cell breaks down food molecules cell wast and worn out cell parts?
it's not the mitochondria, it's lysosomes. mitochondria is composed of proteins and enzymes.
What organelle breaks down cell can compounds into small particles that the cell can use?
The mitochondria breaks down chemical bonds the cell can use for energy
Acid breaks down food were?
Acid breaks down the food in the stomach. Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks down the proteins from the food, in the stomach. Highly acidic pH helps to break down the food.
What is lysosome job in a cell?
it breaks down cellular waste products, fats, and proteins. AKA its the garbage disposal in a cell

What organelle breaks down proteins?
Peroxisomes
What organelle is responsible for identifying and digesting damaged or denatured proteins?
The proteasome is responsible for identifying and degrading damaged or denatured proteins within the cell. It recognizes specific signals on the proteins that mark them for degradation, and then breaks them down into smaller peptides.
What releases enzymes into small intestine?
Amylase, which breaks down starches into monosaccharides, trypsin, which breaks down proteins, and lipase, which breaks down fat.
What released enzymes into the small intestines?
Amylase, which breaks down starches into monosaccharides, trypsin, which breaks down proteins, and lipase, which breaks down fat.
What does gastric protease do?
breaks down proteins in the stomach
What are proteases?
Enzyme that breaks down proteins and peptides
What cell breaks down food molecules cell wast and worn out cell parts?
it's not the mitochondria, it's lysosomes. mitochondria is composed of proteins and enzymes.
How does an animal cell react when there is is no glucose available to carry out cellular respiration?
It breaks down polysaccharides such as starch. The next step is to metabolize fats and proteins.
What organelle breaks down cell can compounds into small particles that the cell can use?
The mitochondria breaks down chemical bonds the cell can use for energy
