The word lysosome is derived from the Greek words 'lysis' which means 'to loosen' and 'soma' which means 'body'. It is a membrane-bound organelle that is found in animal cells but is not in red blood cells. Lysosomes are chemically spherical and they contain hydrolytic enzymes which aid in the break down of things like proteins and carbohydrates. Belgian biologist Christian de Duve discovered lysosomes in 1949.
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.
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.
What is the lysosome like in the human body?
one part of the body that is like the lysosome is the stomach
What is the job in the cell lysosome?
What is the lysosome job in the animal cell?
What organelles is the trash can of the cell?
Lysosome, or vesicles or vacuoles.
What breaks down substances in a cell?
The lysosome.
Can lysosome be found in the cytoplasm?
Lysosome is an organell.So it can be found in cytoplasm.

because the lysosome cannot release its contents unless nearby cells allow it.
Analogies for the lysosome?
A lysosome is like an incinerator because it destroys waste in a cell.
Tiny packets of digestive enzymes inside of cells are called what?
Lysosome
What is a small digestive organelle filled with enzymes?
A lysosome.
How does lysosome represent a government?
it is the maid of the white house because they clean up the white house and so does the lysosome but the lysosome cleans up the cell
