Answer» 1)Inside a cell, numerous organelles function to remove wastes. One of the key organelles involved in digestion and waste removal is thelysosome.Lysosomesare organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. 2)They are small vesicles found around the cell. They have a single membrane that contains digestive enzymes for breaking down toxic materials in the cell. They differ from lysosomes in the type of enzyme they hold.Peroxisomeshold on to enzymes that require oxygen (oxidative enzymes). 3)Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found in plants and also in filamentous fungi. Seeds that contain fats and oils include corn, soybean, sunflower, peanut and pumpkin. As in all peroxisomes, in glyoxysomes the fatty acids are oxidized to acetyl-CoA by peroxisomal β-oxidation enzymes. 4)Ribosomesare acellstructure that makes protein. Protein is needed for manycell functionssuch as repairing damage or directing chemical processes.Ribosomescan be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. ... Proteins are an essential part of allcells. |
