What is a Heterophagosome and a Autophagosome?
heterophagosome is formed when a lysosome fuses with another vescicle within the cell and causes its digestion. autophagosomy is when the lysosome digests the whole cell by rupturing to release its enzymes.
What does the vacuole organelle do in a plant cell?
A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that plays roles in intracellular digestion and the release of cellular waste products. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small. Vacuoles tend to be large in plant cells and play a role in turgor pressure. When a plant is well-watered, water collects in cell vacuoles producing rigidity in the plant. Without sufficient water, pressure in the vacuole is reduced and the plant wilts.
Contrast mechanical digestion with chemical digestion and give an example of each?
Physical digestion is, basically, "mashing." The food is ground up (by the teeth), mashed into a paste (by the stomach), and so forth. It's mixed with other foods in the process, but no new molecules are produced. Chemical digestion involves chemical reactions, and new molecules ARE produced. The action of enzymes in saliva, gastric juices, and so forth is a form of chemical digestion.
Why is lysosome called a suicide bag?
Lysosome is called a suicide bag because it can destroy the cell of which it is a part of. When cell gets damaged or wounded, lysosomes burst and release some digestive enzymes which digest the cell itself.
What is the function of lysosomes?
Lysosome contain digestive enzymes for almost all type of organic material. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over cell content and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them ,so they are also known as 'Suicide Bags'.
What does the vacuole of a cell do?
A vacuole is a membrane bound sac that plays roles in intracellular digestion and release of cellular waste products.
Which organelles are responsible for the release of destructive enzymes in alzheimers?
Most likely the mitochondria (with respect to oxidative stress and apoptosis) and the endoplasmic reticulum.
Which organelle aids in the digestion and release of cellular waste?
The food materials is ingested into the cell via endocytosis which is digested by lysosomes which contains various hydrolytic enzymes. Waste materials so formed after digestion is excreted by cell by process called exocytosis.
How lysosomes would be involved in changing caterpillar into a butterfly?
Organelles called lysosomes release enzymes that tell the rest of the cell part their rolls in the metamorphoses
How do phagocytes get rid of pathogens?
The pathogens Lysosomes release Lysins (enzymes) which digest the bacteria. Harmless products of digestion are absorbed.
What happens if a cell does not produce the enzymes that lysosomes need in order to function?
Lysosomes are rich in many hydrolyzing enzymes.Depending on the main functions of lysosomes, the following events can happen:Digestion of external particles. Lysosomes of leucocytes will not be able to digest proteins, bacteria and viruses.Digestion of intracellular substances. Lysosomes will not be able to digest stored materials like proteins, fats and glycogen to provide energy to the starved cells. In plant cells, lysosomes will not hydrolyze stored material in germinating seeds.Autolysis. Lysosomes will not be able to digest functional cell organelles, as required under certain physiological conditions. Thus, they may not assist in autophagy causing death of a cell.Extracellular digestion. If hydrolytic enzymes are not produced, they cannot be liberated outside the cell, when necessary. For example, the lysosomes of sperm will not release enzymes which dissolve the protective coating of ovum.
What is lysosome function?
It breaks down worn out organelles, because the cytoplasm cannot break down, for example, worn out mitochondria. It is also known as the "suicide sack" because it can release the acids within it if the cell is malfunctioning. It actually causes the cell to explode!
Where does protein digestion ends?
lol, im fixing it The cells in the lining of your stomach release enzymes and hydrochloric acid
What does chemical digestion in the stomach require?
The process of chemical digestion starts is your mouth! When you start chewing, your saliva helps break down the food as it goes down the esophagus.
What is a Heterophagosome and a Autophagosome?
heterophagosome is formed when a lysosome fuses with another vescicle within the cell and causes its digestion. autophagosomy is when the lysosome digests the whole cell by rupturing to release its enzymes.
What is breaking down food to release food in cells called?
well, enzymes are proteins that break up food molecules and digestion is when large protein molecules are broken down
How does rhizopus obtains its food?
Rhizopus Stolonifer is considered saprophytic Therefore , feeds on dead , damp and decaying matter such as
