Question
As you likely know, the lysosome is filled with hydrolyzing enzymes. As a result, the
environment inside is held constant at a pH of 2 to protect the rest of the cell should
the lysosome rupture.
i. Based on our discussion of chemical reactions in class, define the term
hydrolyzing.
ii. Name the major class of macromolecules that enzymes belong to.
iii. Based on the pH of the lysosome compared to the rest of the cell, how
does the cell's proton [H+] concentration compare (i.e. is it higher or lower)?
note: There are no dots or
arrows associated with this
model.
