Depict the role of lysosomes within a cell, using the metaphor of a factory. Explain

Biology

Llana [10]3 years ago
5 0
If the cell were a factory, the lysosomes would function as the maintenance crew. The lysosome breaks down the enzymes and keeps the cell from working. The  factory can not operate without the maintenance crew. The maintenance crews make sure that the factory is well conditioned to work.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Cardiac muscle cells appear striated. However, they are involuntary, unlike skeletal muscle cells, because they contract outside of human control. For example, you do not have to think about contracting your heart muscles as the already contract for you. On the other hand, skeletal muscle cells are controlled by humans as they decide which body movement to perform, such as walking or pointing.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

c) Breaks down and inactivates acetylcholine

Explanation:

Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that is required for termination of acetylcholine activity in the synaptic cleft. The enzyme is present in the extracellular side of the motor endplate membrane and breaks down the acetylcholine into acetyl and choline.

In the absence of acetylcholine, the muscle fibers resume their resting stage. Therefore, acetylcholinesterase activity is required for the normal functioning of muscles and nerve cells that use acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter.

In muscle tissue, the rate of conversion of glycogen to glucose 6-phosphate is determined by the ratio of phosphorylase a (activ
victus00 [196]

Answer:

(a) When the enzyme phosphorylase is allowed to treat with the ATP and phosphorylase kinase, this helps in the activation of the more active form of the phosphorylase. This increase the process of the glycogen breakdown in the cell.

(b) PP1 ( protein phosphatase 1) removes the phosphate group from the substrate that results in the activation of the less active form of the enzyme. The process of glycogen breakdown in the cell will decrease.

(c) The hormone epinephrine causes the release of cAMP that increases the kinase activity. The active form of the enzyme predominates and increases the glycogen breakdown in the body.
