Since lysosomes produce digestive enzymes, the cell will literally start to eat itself. Lysosomes even do this on purpose sometimes to recycle old cells. That's why the lysosomes are nicknamed suicide sacks.
Lysosomes are vesicles containing enzymes that can break down macromolecules and kill harmful bacteria or viruses inside the cell. When lysosomes release their contents outside the cell, they can also cause cell death in a process known as apoptosis.
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!(:
Lysosomes involve in self digestion.They release protiolitc enzymes.
The inner membrane is coated with extensive glycocalyx. The integral and peripheral membrane proteins on the inner surface are highly N-glycosylated glycoproteins containing poly-lactosamine which prevents access by the digestive enzymes, therefore protecting the lysosome from digesting itself. There is also process called autolysis, where the lysosome destroys itself, hence giving them the name "suicide-bags".
The plasma membrane surrounds the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials. Lysosomes fuse with the plasma membrane to release their enzymes outside the cell for extracellular digestion.

During exocytosis, vesicles fuse with the cell membrane and release their contents outside the cell. This process allows for the release of substances such as neurotransmitters, hormones, or enzymes into the extracellular space.
Yes this sometimes happens. This is due to your body muscles relaxing after death, it can be common for the bladder to release its contents as well.
Organelles called lysosomes release enzymes that tell the rest of the cell part their rolls in the metamorphoses
Lysosomes are rich in many hydrolyzing enzymes.Depending on the main functions of lysosomes, the following events can happen:Digestion of external particles. Lysosomes of leucocytes will not be able to digest proteins, bacteria and viruses.Digestion of intracellular substances. Lysosomes will not be able to digest stored materials like proteins, fats and glycogen to provide energy to the starved cells. In plant cells, lysosomes will not hydrolyze stored material in germinating seeds.Autolysis. Lysosomes will not be able to digest functional cell organelles, as required under certain physiological conditions. Thus, they may not assist in autophagy causing death of a cell.Extracellular digestion. If hydrolytic enzymes are not produced, they cannot be liberated outside the cell, when necessary. For example, the lysosomes of sperm will not release enzymes which dissolve the protective coating of ovum.
Exocytosis is the process by which cells release their contents in form of vesicles. This may also happen due to diffusion.
Lysosomes dispose of waste by using enzymes to break down complex molecules into simpler forms that can be recycled or excreted by the cell. This process is called intracellular digestion. The lysosomes then release the digested material back into the cell for reuse or for removal via exocytosis.
The organelle involved in programmed cell death is the mitochondria. Mitochondria release proteins that trigger a series of events leading to cell death, known as apoptosis. This process is tightly regulated and necessary for normal cellular development and tissue homeostasis.
yes
Lysosomes.
Plasma Membrane- External boundary of the cell- Confines cell contents; regulates entry and exit of materials Lysosomes- Scattered in cytoplasm- Digest ingested materials and worn-out organelles Mitochondrion- Scattered throughout the cell- Control release of energy from food; from ATP Microvilli- Projections of the plasma membrane- Increase the membrane surface area Golgi apparatus- Near the nucleus ( in the cytoplasm )- Packages proteins to be incorporated into the plasma membrane or lysosomes or exported from the cell
Exocytosis is the process by which vesicles release their contents outside the cell. This process is essential for transporting proteins and other molecules out of the cell.
