Medical Definition of Enzyme, lysosomal home / medterms medical dictionary a-z list / enzyme, lysosomal definition Medical Definition of Enzyme, lysosomal Enzyme, lysosomal: An enzyme in an organelle (a little organ) called the lysosome within the cell. Lysosomal enzymes degrade (break down) macromolecules (large molecules) and other materials (such as bacteria) that have been taken up by the cell during the process of endocytosis.

- Their are many membrane bound vesicles within cells. Most are components of the cell's lysosomal system. Lysosomes are membrane bound vesicles that comprise the digestive and excretory systems of the cell.

Lysosome Lysosome. Within eukaryotic cells are specialized vesicles called lysosomes that contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes break down foreign material which may enter the cell. The name lysosome means releasing body and their enzymes cause lysis or disintegration of certain materials.They can be used to break down worn-out cellular components or bacteria engulfed by the cell.he name lysosome means releasing body and their enzymes cause lysis or disintegration of certain materials.

Lysosome A lysosome (derived from the Greek words lysis, meaning to loosen, and soma, body) is a membrane-bound cell organelle found in most animal cells (they are absent in red blood cells).nzymes of the lysosomes are synthesised in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The enzymes are released from Golgi apparatus in small vesicles which ultimately fuse with acidic vesicles called endosomes, thus becoming full lysosomes.

Lysis Lysis. Definition. noun. (cytology). The disintegration or rupture of the cell membrane, resulting in the release of cell contents or the subsequent death of the cell. (medicine). The gradual recovery or recuperation from an acute disease. (suffix: - lysis). Decomposition, breakdown or disintegration. Supplement.

Lexic.us Medical Definition of Lysogenic infection. 1. An infective process characterised by the incorporation of the DNA of the infecting phage into the host cell chromosome. Once incorporated, the phage DNA replicates along with the host DNA. The incorporated phage DNA is relatively inactive, thus permitting the host cell to continue fairly normal life processes.

Lysosome Lysosomes (lysosome: from the Greek: lysis; loosen and soma; body) are found in nearly all animal and plant cells. In plant cells vacuoles can carry out lysosomal functions. Lysosomes appear initially as spherical bodies about 50-70nm in diameter and are bounded by a single membrane. Several hundred lysosomes may be present in a single animal cell.

Structural Biochemistry/Carbohydrates/Virus In the lytic cell, the cell is taken over, produces viruses with its own machinery and organelles, and then dies, releasing more viruses. In the lysogenic cycle, the cell does not die but instead replicates with viral DNA/RNA in its own genome. A common example of a lysogenic virus is lambda phage.

- chromosome. A cellular structure carrying genetic material, found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Each chromosome consists of one very long DNA molecule and associated proteins.

- Lysosomes  Vesicles that contain enzymes (proteins) that are designed to break down biological macromolecules. The enzymes are made by the RER, then processed and packaged by the Golgi apparatus.  Substance to be broken down is packaged in plasma membrane. This structure fuses with the membrane of a lysosome.

What is the location and function of a lysosome? A lysosome is a cell organelle composed of a spherical membrane containing acid hydrolases, which are capable of breaking down virtually all kinds of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and cellular debris.

Lysosomal Enzymes Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that contain digestive enzymes, such as glycosidases, proteases and sulfatases. Lysosomal enzymes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are transported to the Golgi apparatus, and are tagged for lysosomes by the addition of mannose-6-phosphate label.ysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles that contain digestive enzymes, such as glycosidases, proteases and sulfatases.

- The sac of digestive enzymes in a cell is called a lysosome.  Lysosomes are found in most animal cells but not in red blood  cells. lysosome is a sac of digestive enzymes, used to break down  monosaccharaides and disaccharides. Lysosomes are found in animal  cells and are also called suicide sacs. 1 person found this useful. Edit.

What is the location and function of a lysosome? A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle found in most animal cells. They are spherical vesicles which contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down virtually all kinds of biomolecules. Simply stated, a lysosome is a type of vesicle with specific composition, of both its membrane proteins, and proteins of its lumen.

- B. In lysogeny, the viral genome (called a prophage) is integrated into the host DNA and is replicated with it; it does not kill (lyse) the host cell; the cells are said to be lysogenic (or are called lysogens).

Lysosomes A simple description of lysosomes is that they are tiny sacs filled with fluid containing enzymes (i.e. proteins that act as biological catalysts) which enable the cell to process its nutrients and are also responsible for destroying the cell after it has died.

They are spherical vesicles which contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down virtually all kinds of biomolecules. Simply stated, a lysosome is a type of vesicle with specific composition, of both its membrane proteins, and proteins of its lumen. The lumen's pH (4.5–5.0)[1] is optimal for the enzymes involved in hydrolysis, analogous to the activity of the stomach.

Lysosomes Lysosomes are the main sites of digestion, that is the break-down of structures, within cells. There are, however, some circumstances (diseases/conditions) in which lysosomes begin to 'break-down' living cells - not just useless parts of cells or potentially harmful structures.

Medical Definition of Enzyme, lysosomal The vesicle then fuses with the lysosome and the lysosomal enzymes carry out their appointed task of destruction (by hydrolysis). Quite amazingly, the lysosomal enzymes do not normally damage the cell itself.

Definitions After estimating the probable size of the lysosome, he was able to identify the organelle in images produced with an electron microscope. Lysosomes are found in all animal cells, but are most numerous in disease-fighting cells, such as white blood cells. This is because white blood cells must digest more material than most other types of cells in their quest to battle bacteria, viruses, and other foreign intruders.

Lysogenic cycle Lysogeny, or the lysogenic cycle, is one of two cycles of viral reproduction (the lytic cycle is the other). Lysogeny is characterized by integration of the bacteriophage nucleic acid into the host bacterium's genome or formations of a circular replicon in the bacterium's cytoplasm.emperate phages (such as lambda phage) can reproduce using both the lytic and the lysogenic cycle. Via the lysogenic cycle, the bacteriophage's genome is not expressed and is instead integrated into the bacteria's genome to form the prophage.

Lysosomes Lysosomes are roughly spherical bodies enclosed by a single membrane. They are manufactured by the Golgi apparatus (pathway 2 in the figure). Link to a discussion of how proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum are sent to the appropriate destinations.

What are cell structures that contain digestive enzymes? Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Their main purpose is to break down polysaccharides into monosaccharides and proteins into amino acids or other substances suitable for incorporation into the cell's metabolism.
