  2. Lysosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysosome

    The lysosomal membrane protects the cytosol, and therefore the rest of the cell, from the degradative enzymes within the lysosome. The cell is additionally protected from any lysosomal acid hydrolases that drain into the cytosol, as these enzymes are pH-sensitive and do not function well or at all in the alkaline environment of the cytosol ...

  3. Intracellular digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_digestion

    For example, following phagocytosis, the ingested particle (or phagosome) fuses with a lysosome containing hydrolytic enzymes to form a phagolysosome; the pathogens or food particles within the phagosome are then digested by the lysosome's enzymes.

  4. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    However, if numerous lysosomes leaked the cell could be destroyed from autodigestion. Lysosomes carry out intracellular digestion, in a process called phagocytosis (from the Greek phagein, to eat and kytos, vessel, referring here to the cell), by fusing with a vacuole and releasing their enzymes into the vacuole. Through this process, sugars ...

  5. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Lysosomes and peroxisomes: Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). They digest excess or worn-out organelles , food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria . Peroxisomes have enzymes that rid the cell of toxic peroxides , Lysosomes are optimally active in an acidic environment.

  6. Endosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosome

    The process of creating vesicles within the endosome is thought to be enhanced by the peculiar lipid BMP or LBPA, which is only found in late endosomes, endolysosomes or lysosomes. [12] When the endosome has matured into a late endosome/MVB and fuses with a lysosome, the vesicles in the lumen are delivered to the lysosome lumen.

  8. Autolysis (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autolysis_(biology)

    Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that typically contain a broad spectrum of enzymes capable of hydrolytic deconstruction of polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, phosphoric acyl esters, and sulfates. This process requires compartmentalization and segregation of enzymes and substrates via a single intracellular membrane that ...
