MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -In eucaryotes these reactions all take place in mitochondria, the organelle to which pyruvate and fatty acids are directed for acetyl CoA production (Figure 2-78). We should therefore not be surprised to discover that the mitochondrion is the place where most of the ATP is produced in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
