Explain the importance of lysosomes.
Answers
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. ... They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria. If the cell is damaged beyond repair, lysosomes can help it to self-destruct in a process called programmed cell death, or apoptosis.
Answer:
The lysosome is a type of organelle, and contains specific enzymes (or proteins) which are required to break down and remove materials such as fats and sugars from the cell; it is therefore often referred to as the cell’s ‘recycling centre’.
Lysosomes play a critical role in processing and transforming the chemical constituents that are used in many cellular processes, for example energy supply, and building cellular structures. Disruption of this small recycling centre can have devastating results for the cell it serves and the body as a whole.
