Answer:

Dust is a mixture of different things, that is the reason that can posses charge.

Explanation:

Dust can be formed by small particles, smaller than 500 micrometers, but the nature can be so different from one place to another.

If is inside a house, maybe is a mixture of skin (that could contain lipids), human or pet hair (that posses some radical organic groups), minerals particles (that can have in the outside part some ionic compounds easily to change to an ion alone.

If the dust is in a yard, maybe is a mixture of grass or leaves (that they are formed by some cells parts). If there are just some part of the organelles like some parts of the membrane, the ionic particles can reach to an ionic charge.

In an animal cell, what is the function of the lysosomes?
Alik [6]
<span><span><span>Release enzymes outside of the cell (exocytosis)</span>
which may serve the purpose of destroying materials around the cell.</span><span><span>Break-down 'digestion' of materials from inside the cell (autophagy)</span> 
i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from inside the cell. 
This could include digesting worn-out organelles so that useful chemicals locked-up in their structures can be re-used by the cell.</span><span><span>Break-down 'digestion' of materials from outside the cell (heterophagy)</span>
i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from outside the cell.
This could include breaking-down material taken-in by phagocytes, which include many types of white blood cells - also known as leucocytes. Specific mechanisms of heterophagy can be:<span><span>phagocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular debris, bacteria or other particles - only occurs in certain specialized cells</span><span>pinocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular fluid</span><span>endocytic - by which cells take-up particles such as molecules that have become attached to the outer-surface of the cell membrane.</span></span></span><span><span>Recycle the products of biochemical reactions that have taken place following materials being brought into the cell by endocytosis (general term for this 'recycling' function: biosynthesis) </span>
Different materials (chemicals) are processed in different ways, e.g. some structures may be processed/degraded within lysosomes and others are taken to the surface of the cell.</span><span>Completely break-down cells that have died (autolysis)</span></span>

In general, the functions of lysosomes involve breaking-down i.e. processing to 'make safe' or make use of, or removing from the cell e.g. by exocytosis, useless and potentially harmful materials such as old worn-out parts of the cell or potential threats such bacteria. Lysosomes can therefore be thought of as the rubbish disposal units within cel

One way that cells use water
elena-s [515]
<span>For instance, during the concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences. </span>
<span>Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.<span>
