ProfessorIf lysosomes stopped working, cells would not be able to efficiently break down and recycle cellular waste and debris. This can lead to a buildup of toxic substances inside cells, ultimately causing damage and cell death. Overall, the functioning of the cell would be compromised and could lead to serious health issues.

What would happen if one occipital lobe stopped working?
The person might have difficulty understanding what he or she is hearing or with strong and retrieving memories associated with the senses.
What would happen if mitochondria had a structure like lysosomes?
The two have different functions. Mitochondria makes energy for the cell to function while lysosomes brake down unwanted materials. It is said that mitochondria are the power houses and lysosomes are the waste disposal system. They would maybe able to work with one inside the other. The lysosomes providing useful items to the mitochondria, but it didn't work out that way.
What would happen if the immune system stopped working?
If the immune system stopped working, the body would be unable to defend itself against infections from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. This could result in severe illness, increased susceptibility to common infections, and increased risk of developing serious diseases.
