Solution

Layers in lysosome membrane:

  1. A lysosome's general structure is a collection of enzymes surrounded by a single-layer membrane.
  2. The membrane is an important part of the lysosome's construction.
  3. Without it, the enzymes that break down foreign chemicals would leak out and devour the entire cell, killing it.
  4. Hydrolytic enzymes can break down carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
