The lysosome is an organelle that is important to cellular homeostasis through its degradation of different compounds. Degradati

ve enzymes responsible for reactions within the lysosome are most efficient at pH levels below what is found in the cell. What is responsible for allowing a different pH between an organelle and the rest of the cell?

Answer:

The presence of proton pumps in the lysosome membrane that allows the organelle to maintain higher concentrations of protons.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are known as a membrane-bound cell organelle that is present in many animal cells. They are spherical type vesicles in structure. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes these enzymes help in the break down of different kinds of biomolecules.

The lysosomal membrane helps to protect the cytosol, and rest of the cells, from the degradative enzymes which are present in the lysosome. They have the ability to maintains their pH by pumping in H+ ions (protons) from the cytosol across the membrane with the help of chloride ion channels and proton pumps.

What causes the nebula to collapse into a flattened spinning disc?
viktelen [127]
Due to collisions between particles in the spinning cloud, the solar nebula begins to flatten. The particles in the gas cloud first have all different speeds in different directions. As they start colliding with each other, their final velocity is the average of the two initial velocities before collision.

Proteins and carbohydrates have many functions in the body of an organism. Specific proteins and carbohydrates perform specific
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Both store materials needed by the organism.

Explanation:

Proteins and carbohydrates are two biomolecules present in living organisms. They perform varying functions in the body of an organism. According to this question, a specific protein (ferritin) and carbohydrate (glycogen) is described.

Ferritin is a protein molecule containing Iron (Fe). Iron is needed by living organisms as it plays a vital role in organism's metabolism. On the other hand, glycogen is a carbohydrate molecule that is made up of glucose molecules, needed by living organisms.

Based on the description of the two biomolecules provided, they are similar in their primary functions for an organism in the sense that THEY BOTH STORE MATERIALS (glucose and iron) NEEDED BY AN ORGANISM.
