Document Summary
A sac of digestive enzymes found in animal cells: enzymes in a lysosome can break down large molecules such as. Several types of digestive functions: many cells engulf nutrients in tiny cytoplasmic sacs called food vacuoles. Exposing food to enzymes to digest: destroy harmful bacteria, break down damages organelles. Lysosomal storage disease: several serious inherited disorder are the result of malfunctioning lysosomes, the lysosomes lack functioning enzymes, example: Membranes sacs that bud from the: er, golgi, plasma membrane. Contractile vacuoles of protists pump out excess water in the cell. Central vacuoles: store nutrients, store water, may contain pigments or poisons. Most of the living world runs on the energy provided by photosynthesis. It"s the conversion of light energy from the sun to the chemical energy: chloroplast are the organelles that perform photosynthesis. Stroma: thick fluid within the chloroplast. Grana: traps the light energy and convert it to chemical energy.
