Question

Under a microscope you view a cell with a very large quantity of lysosomes present. what could this indicate? under a microscope you view a cell with a very large quantity of lysosomes present. what could this indicate? the cell is about to undergo apoptosis. the cell has a high energy demand. the cell is making a large amount of protein. the cell is detoxifying toxins.

Answer 1

Ans.

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles, present in many plant and animal cells. These organelles resemble round vesicles filled with various hydrolytic enzymes, such as lysosomes. These enzymes help in breakdown of different kinds of biomolecules, such as peptides, nucleic acids, and toxins.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'the cell is detoxifying toxins.'

Answer 2

Answer: the cell is detoxifying toxins.

A microscope is a device which magnifies the object or specimen under consideration, several times larger than the original size. It facilitates detailed observation of the features of the specimen under study. Lysosomes are the organelles that are found in animal cell. The main function of the lysosomes is to digest the cellular wastes, and detoxify the cell. These organelles exhibit digestive enzymes. These enzymes digest food particles, engulf viruses and bacteria.

Therefore, on the above information, this can be concluded that large number of the lysosomes in the cell, indicates that the cell is detoxifying toxins.
