  2. What is a lysosome? • -Lysosomes are present in almost every animal-like eukaryotic cell. • -A lysosome is a single-membrane organelle. • -A lysosome is a specialized vesicle that holds various enzymes. • -Lysosomes are created when the Endoplasmic Reticulum develops its • enzyme proteins, then the Golgi Complex finishes creating its • digestive enzymes. • -Lysosomes floats in the cytoplasm until they are needed.

  3. What is the function of the lysosome? • -The Lysosome is like a little digestive system. • -The purpose of the lysosome is to digest things, whether it be digesting the cell’s food or breaking down the cell itself when it dies. • -The molecules in the Lysosome start working as soon as food gets absorbed by the cell. • -The lysosome releases the enzymes inside of it to break down molecules that have protein and complex sugars. • -Even if the subject doesn’t consume food, the organelles keep working and digest the organelles of the cell instead.

  4. What is the nucleolus? • -The Nucleolus is the inside structure of the Nucleus. • -The Nucleolus is made up of RNA (RiboNucleic Acid) and protein, • -the nucleolus is also referred to as a sub-nuclear body. • -The nucleolus contains some of the genes which help with the creation of ribosomal RNA.

  5. I like trains. ;3 What is the function of the nucleolus? • -The main function of the nucleolus is to assemble ribosomes. • -The nucleolus helps the protein synthesis process by producing the ribosomes.
