the lysosomes enzymes are of great importance .they digest phagocytosed food particles and also involved in the autophagy (self eating ) . they also help in extra cellular digestion . so, if these enzymes are absent then all this will stop and it can result in diseases .

What is the most primary function of lysosomes?

Lysosomes hold enzymes that were created by the cell. The purpose of the lysosome is to digest things. They might be used to digest food or break down the cell when it dies.


What might happen to a cell after viruses leave it?

The host cell lyses, which means the host cell burst and is killed.


How might amino acid change affect the enzyme?

The pKA of enzyme affects its ionization which could alter enzyme activity. For pH < pKa, the value of vmax is constant and that for pH > pKa, vmax decreases; ie. enzyme activity starts to decline.


How might a change of one amino acid at a site distant from the active site of an enzyme alter an enzyme's substrate specificity?

A change of one amino acid at a site distant from the active site of an enzyme can alter the enzyme's substrate specificity by affecting the overall conformation or stability of the enzyme. This alteration can influence how the enzyme binds to its substrate, either by modifying the shape of the active site or by impacting the enzyme's interactions with other molecules. Additionally, such a change might affect the dynamics of the enzyme, potentially enhancing or diminishing its ability to recognize particular substrates. Hence, even distant amino acid substitutions can have significant functional consequences on enzyme activity.


Why might lysosomes fuse with or link up with a food vacuole?

Vacuoles store things, so it would make sense that food vacuoles store food. Lysosomes digest things into smaller usable materials (or destroy them) so lysosomes will attach to food vacuoles so they can efficiently digest food. The vacuole to store the food waiting to be digested by the lysosome.

What might happen if some lysosome enzymes are absent?

extra cellular digestion takes place by lysosomal enzymes.when there is no lysosomal enzyme then extra cellular digestion cannot tak place.


What might you find in lysosomes?

peoxea, lochea, hankea, notys, and archea.


How might a cell be affected if one of its lysosomes were ruptured?

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes, so if it ruptured it would cause the digestive enzymes to digest and kill other surrounding cells.

If an enzyme is a protein how might you change the specificity of such an enzyme?

What an enzyme does is based on its shape, therefore you would have to change it on a molecular level in order to alter its job.


Should you call your teacher when you are absent?

Yes you should call your teacher,teacher and tell her what your name is because she might not know who it is, because if your absent she will not know who you are.

What effect might a prolonged body fever of 40 Celsius have on the enzyme structure?

High temperatures will cause enzyme structures to dissociate (break apart).
