Briefly describe the lysosome. What type of enzymes does the lysosome contain and what are they responsible for? Why is it an important organelle within the cell?
Dr. Satish I.
What is the function of the lysosome in eukaryotic cells? The lysosome uses messenger RNA to synthesize proteins. The lysosome secretes enzymes to break down large molecules. The lysosome modifies proteins and sends them to where they are needed. The lysosome takes in nutrients and breaks them down to provide energy for the cell.
