Some viral infections can lead to the rupture of the lysosome membrane. Which prediction of the effect of this disruption of cellular compartmentalization is most likely correct?

1. Enzymes will be released that will specifically target the virus.2. Cellular osmotic concentrations will change, preventing viral entry into the cell.3. Hydrolytic enzymes will be released, which will cause cell death.4. Intracellular digestion of organic materials will increase, which will increase the energy available to the cell for fighting the virus

Answer:

Option:(3)-

"Hydrolytic enzymes will be released, which will cause cell death."

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Consequences if lysosomes body ruptures:

The lysosomes contains some special enzymes and fluids which are required for the breakdown of the materials inside a cell.And if due to some reasons the membrane of the lysosomes is infected by a viral body, then it will cause the lysosomes to release different enzymes in to the cells cytoplasm. As the lysosomes contains the specialized amount of the hydrolytic enzymes which will cause damage to other organelles inside the cell body.

  • And this in severe cases some times leads to the death of the living cell, called as necrosis in biological terms.
