Question

what is the function of lysomes
​

Answer 1

$\rm{\purple{\huge{Anѕwer:}}}$

Lysosome is the smallest vesicle-like organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes. The functions of lysosomes are as follows-

(i) Extracellular digestion:

Sometimes lysosomes enzymes are released outside the cell to break down extracellular material. So, they are known as digestive bags.

(ii) Digestion of foreign material:

Lysosomes also destroy any foreign material inside the cell such as bacteria.

(iii) Cellular digestion:

Lysosomes get ruptured and enzymes are released free in damaged cells, aging cells, dead cells or poorly working cell organelles to digest them. So, they are also known as suicide bags. In these processes, they remove the cell debris.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
