Document Summary
Lysosome function clear layer digested by the lysosome the lysosome from being digested by its own enzymes. Lysosomes often contain dark inclusions derived from the remains of whatever has been. Has a single membrane that surrounds it, beneath the membrane of the lysosome there is a. This is a layer of heavily glycosylated membrane proteins that prevent the membrane fo. To facilitate the digestion of any intracellular structure that needs to be disposed of like. Also breaksdown bacteria engulfed by the cell called phagocytosis. The ph is maintained by proton pumps that are embedded in. Enzymes aiding in digestion work in very low ph in case the lysosome somehow gets damaged and the enzymes get released into the cytosol. The more neutral ph of the much larger cytoplasmic compartment would deactivate the enzymes. Starts at plasma membrane instead of the er, brings in exterior of the cell and internalized inside the endosome.
