Adam's organelle poster
lysosmes
A lysosome has a strong membrane that contains powerful digestive enzymes.
lysosome in latin = ''Kill Body''
In the picture to the left there's a drawing of a lysosome. The brown inner part is the organelles digestive enzymes called a hydrolytic enzyme mixture.
lysosomes are sometimes known as the police force of the cell.
They are also known as ''suicide sacs'' because if the burst, the digestive enzymes could damage or even destroy the cell.
A lysosomes job in the cell is to break down food, viruses, and worn-out organells.
