Describe three examples of intracellular digestion by lysosomes

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.
