Functions of Lysosomes

Digestion of food taken into the cell. Destruction of disease-causing organisms and old organelles

Where do the unprocessed protein enter the Golgi Apparatus from?

ER

What happens to the protein in Golgi Apparatus?

Packaged and Exported near membrane.

Lysosomes

Vesicles containing enzymes that digest macromolecules

What is TAY-SACHS disease?

missing an enzyme of the lysosomes that breaks down a fatty substance. Over time this fat builds up in the brain and nervous tissue, smothering the cells
