The Golgi apparatus. It creates lysosomes.Lysosome: Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes necessary for intracellular digestion. They are common in animal cells, but rare in plant cells.
Lyosomes
Lysosomes are organelles that release enzymes for intracellular digestion. They contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down cellular waste and foreign materials.
In the process of intracellular digestion, lysosomes are the main organelles. Lysosomes contain enzymes that are made by cells, and their primary function is to digest things.
The food vacuole is the organelle responsible for digestion in protozoans. It contains enzymes that break down food particles into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the cell.
Lysosomes
The lysosomes perform intracellular digestion.
The main cellular structures involved in intracellular digestion are lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes that break down complex molecules, while the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages these enzymes for transport to the lysosomes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis and do not directly participate in intracellular digestion.
Lysosomes
Intracellular
The primary site of intracellular digestion are the lysosomes.
Cells can digest substances through intracellular digestion, where enzymes break down molecules inside the cell's cytoplasm, or through extracellular digestion, where enzymes are secreted outside the cell to break down larger substances before they are absorbed.
