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!(:
What else can I help you with?
Which organelle is responsible for holding chemicals needed for digestion in an animal cell?
The organelle responsible for holding chemicals needed for digestion in an animal cell is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell. These enzymes function best in the acidic environment maintained within the lysosome.
What is the primary function of this cell part (lysosome)?
A+ recycling center.
What has chemicals that break down food particles and worn out cell parts in the animal cell?
Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts in animal cells. They are considered the cell's "garbage disposal" system, helping to maintain cellular health and function by digesting and recycling waste materials.
What organelle breaks down food into particles that the cell can use as energy?
Lysosomes are small organelles filled with enzymes. One function of lysosomes is the digestion, or breakdown, of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecues that can be used by the rest of the cell.
What function digests material within a cell?
The function that digests material within a cell is carried out by a specialized organelle called the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign substances, allowing for their recycling or elimination. This process is crucial for maintaining the overall health and functioning of the cell.
How many lysosome are there in an animal cell?
A typical animal cell can have several hundred lysosomes. It can depend on the size and function of the cell.
What is the job in the cell lysosome?
What is the lysosome job in the animal cell?
What kind of cell is a lysosome in?
Animal cell.
What do animal cell's do not have but on a plant cell?
lysosome
What does the plant cell have that the animal cell doesn't?
Lysosome
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.
What is the primary function of this cell lysosome?
A+ recycling center.
What does a lysosomes do ina animal cell?
a lysosome is responsible for repairing worn out organelles and even sometimes destroys the cell if its too old or cant function properly.
Which organelle is responsible for holding chemicals needed for digestion in an animal cell?
The organelle responsible for holding chemicals needed for digestion in an animal cell is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell. These enzymes function best in the acidic environment maintained within the lysosome.
What is the function of the lysosome in a cell?
The lysosome is an organelle in a cell that functions as the "garbage disposal" by breaking down and recycling cellular waste and debris.
What does an animal cell have that a palnt cell does not?
lysosome, Cilia, Flagella, Microvilli, Centrioles
What is the part of a cell that could be compared to the digestive system?
The lysosome in an animal cell.
