GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As most high schoolers learn, the lysosome carries out waste disposal and recycling. In a process known as autophagy (meaning “self-eating”), it takes in old cellular components and unneeded large molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids and sugars, and digests them with the help of enzymes and acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes break down and digest food particles in a cell. They also help the cell defend itself from pathogens by forming a complex along with the pathogen, called phagosome. They also aid in recycling proteins and digest worn-out cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Researchers nicknamed the lysosome “the recycle bin of the cell, or the trash can-nothing interesting, ” said Zoncu, a biochemist at the University of California, Berkeley. It wasn’t that lysosomes didn’t seem important-waste disposal systems inevitably are.

Detailed explanation-4: -(Otherwise, if a lysosome were to leak or burst, the enzymes could kill everything in the cell.) When a lysosome comes across cellular debris it can’t reuse, it fuses with the cell membrane and dumps the waste out of the cell in a process called exocytosis.
