Describe three examples of intracellular digestion by lysosomes

Biology

Answer ;

Phagocytosis is when smaller organisms or other food particles are eaten.

Autophagy is when a damaged organelle or small amount of cytosol becomes surrounded by a double membrane and a lysosome fuses with the outer membrane of the vesicle.

Enzymes break down the material. Food vacuoles fuse with a lysosome, whose enzymes digest the food.

Explanation;

-The Lysosomes are organelles that are responsible for intracellular digestion. Lysosomes are vesicles that contain hydrolytic digestive enzymes capable of breaking down large molecules into smaller ones.

-There are several ways in which different varieties of macromolecules may be digested by lysosomes. One mechanism is phagocytosis, the other is autophagy, which entails the removal of membrane-bounded organelles or other cytoplasmic components through the action of lysosomes, and lastly the hydrolytic enzymes may break down or digest the unwanted materials.

Flauer [41]
Robert Steve and James are three new organisms ( lizard species ) Steve can breath under water he has scaly moist lizard skin a long strong tail and very sharp claws weighs 20 pounds and is 6ft long Steve prefers to eat small fish.

Robert can't breath under water has scaly dry lizard skin very sharp teeth and is very poisonous he has night vision weighs 5 pounds and is 2 ft long he mainly eats small bugs like lies and wasps.

James on the other hand is completely different he has is 10 feet long weighs 180pounds can run 5 miles per hour has powerful jaws that can break bones he has razor sharp teeth and claws and poisonous spit he has a smell radius of 15 miles and is a very heavy set he also prefers to eat big land animals like deer he's a Carnavor.


all of these Organisms are in a similar species (Lizard) and have similar characteristics ( Like scaly lizard skin and sharp claws) but they all have different traits and abilities.



I Hope this helped you.

<h3>Question from alternative source</h3>

Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different mutations within the CFTR gene. One mutation in the CFTR gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. Which type of mutation causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis?

  • silent
  • missense
  • nonsense
  • deletion

Answer:

Nonsense

Explanation:

Nonsense mutations describe mutations that produce a premature stop codon. The stop codons are UAG, UAA, and UGA. A way in which this could arise is, for example, if there was a substution of a nucleotide in the mRNA codon UAC (which codes for the amino acid Tyrosine) to the nucleotide UAG (which codes for a stop codon).

The translation machinery would reach this codon, which signals that translation should be terminated. This would mean that the mRNA would be released, and a truncated (shortened) version of the amino acid would be produced. This is likely to be non-functional, and may even be marked for destruction by the cell.
