Lysosomes contain hydrolase
enzymes to digest substances taken into the cell by phagocytosis. |
|
Neutrophils, macrophages,
and other phagocytic cells have granules derived from lysosomes, which fuse
with incoming vesicles to produce phagosomes |
|
Peroxisomes have peroxidase
enzymes used in detoxification. |
|
Lysosomes and peroxisomes
are often used for apoptosis, the self destruction of a cell due to its age,
health, or other condition. |
