In This Video Lecture You Will Learn Basic Concept Of Lysosomes
Lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelles and are different from others due to their morphology.
those animal cells which exhibit phagocytic activity. They are bounded by a single membrane and synthesized on RER and are further processed in the Golgi apparatus. The processed enzymes are These were isolated as a separate component for the irst time by De Duve (1949). Lysosomes (Lyso

the cell is immediately engulfed by the lysosome and is completely broken into simple digestible
pieces. The process is known as phagocytosis (eating process of a cell). They are most abundant in

components of the vacuole. Some times, under abnormal circumstances, e.g. starvation, or as a glucose, is absent. About twenty such diseases are known these days, which are because of absence such as glycogen or various glycolipids. These are also called storage diseases and are produced of a particular enzyme. For example Tay-Sach’s disease is because of absence of an enzyme that is of cell, such as old mitochondria are digested. In this way, materials of cell may be recycled and cell Several congenital diseases have been found to be due to accumulation within the cell of substances

About This Channel.....................
I make these videos cause I love to draw and connect the complexity of science and medicine into art. I'm not saying. I'm 100% correct in all my videos, but I do try to obtain the information from credible sources.
One-stop destination for all biology lectures.
_ students in class 11, 12 or appearing for competitive medical exams ( NMDCAT ) will find it very beneficial
_ The videos are categories under various heading to make the students life simplified
