Definition

noun, plural: lysosomes

Organelles containing a large range of digestive enzymes used primarily for digestion and removal of excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.


Supplement

Their specific functions include digestion of macromolecules from phagocytosis, endocytosis, and autophagy, digestion of bacteria and other waste materials, repair of damage to the plasma membrane by acting as a membrane patch, and apoptosis (e.g. digesting web from the fingers of a 3- to 6-month-old fetus). Often, they are referred to as “suicide-bags” because of their role in autolysis.

Lysosomes were discovered by the Belgian cytologist Christian de Duve in 1949.


Word origin: from the Greek words lysis, which means dissolution or destruction, and soma, which means body.

Related forms: lysosomal (adjective).
Related terms: GERL.

This sound like a job for: WIKIPEDIA!

Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes to break up waste materials and cellular debris. They are found in animal cells, while in yeast and plants the same roles are performed by lytic vacuoles.[1] Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane around a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents. They are created by the addition of hydrolytic enzymes to early endosomes from the Golgi apparatus. The name lysosome derives from the Greek words lysis, to separate, and soma, body. They are frequently nicknamed "suicide-bags" or "suicide-sacs" by cell biologists due to their role in autolysis. Lysosomes were discovered by the Belgian cytologist Christian de Duve in the 1950s.
