Lysosomes serve as intracellular digestive system, so they are also known as digestive bags.They destroy any foreign material which enter the cell such as bacteria or virus. Lysosomes also remove the worn out and poorly working cellular organelles by digesting them to make way for their new replacements. Since they remove cell debris, they are also known as scavengers of the cell or cellular housekeepers or demolition squads.

What eats a human dead body?

A dead human body is primarily consumed by scavengers and decomposers. Common scavengers include insects such as flies and beetles, as well as larger animals like rodents, raccoons, and birds of prey. Additionally, microbial life, including bacteria and fungi, plays a crucial role in breaking down the organic matter during decomposition. This process is a natural part of the ecosystem, recycling nutrients back into the environment.


What natural cycle involves photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

The carbon cycle involves photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis by plants and other organisms uses carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and glucose, while cellular respiration by organisms uses oxygen to break down glucose into carbon dioxide, releasing energy.


What directly attacks and lyses cellular pathogens?

One mechanism that directly attacks and lyses cellular pathogens is the complement system. This system consists of a group of proteins that can form pores on the cell membranes of pathogens, leading to cell lysis. Additionally, certain immune cells, such as natural killer cells or cytotoxic T cells, can release toxic substances that directly kill pathogens.

Are humans predators or scavengers?

Humans are considered to be both predators and scavengers. As predators, humans actively hunt and consume other animals for food.
