Which organelle would cause the most damage?
The organelle that would cause a lot of damage to the cell if it were to break open is the lysosomes. This is because lysosomes contain enzymes that brak things down like bacteria and food and they could destroy a cell.
Which one of the following is responsible for the destruction of damaged organelles?
Lysosomes — vesicles that contain strong digestive enzymes; lysosomes are responsible for the intracellular removal of damaged organelles or pathogens.
Which organelle is responsible for breaking down damaged or faulty proteins?
Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers—proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
What part of the cell breaks down damaged organelles?
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts.
