- 1. Lysosome is regarded as a body that is covered by membrane, a little smaller than mitochondrion and functions as storage for several hydrolytic enzymes. The enzymes in lysosome can digest substances that are engulfed by the cell and under certain conditions can destroy the cell itself. (a) Name ONE type of cell in the human body that contains many lysosomes. Explain why the cell contains many lysosomes. (b) State ONE different between the lysosome membrane and the mitochondrion membrane. (c) State ONE special feature of the lysosome membrane. (d) Explain how lysosome acts to release its enzymes in the cell.arrow_forwardCancer cells can eventually metastasize (or spread) from their tissue of organ to distant sites throughout the body.
