What happens if there is too much digestive enzyme in the lysosome?
A. It can digest food faster.
B. It will digest itself.
C. It will produce energy for the cell.
D. It will grow bigger.
Answer (2)
Excessive digestive enzymes in lysosomes can lead to autolysis, where the cell begins to digest itself. This process damages the cell and does not aid in energy production or growth. Thus, the correct answer is option B: 'It will digest itself.'
;
Excessive digestive enzymes in lysosomes can lead to the cell digesting its own contents, a process known as autolysis. This overload negatively affects the cell's integrity and does not contribute to energy production or growth. Therefore, option (ii) 'It will digest itself' is the correct answer. ;
