What is the relation between lysosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum?


Open in App
Solution

Lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum:

  1. Lysosomes are membrane-bound cells that contain a variety of enzymes capable of degrading all types of biological polymers, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbs, and lipids.
  2. The endoplasmic reticulum is the prokaryotes and eukaryotes cell's transportation system, as well as a host of other useful roles such as protein folding.

Relation between Lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum:

  1. The rough endoplasmic reticulum generates lysosome enzymes.
  2. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is where lysosomal enzymes are made.
  3. The enzymes are secreted from the Golgi apparatus in vesicles that eventually fuse with acidified vesicles of the Golgi apparatus recognized as endosomes to form replete lysosomes.
