Lysosome Campaign by Luke Tatomir

LYSOSOME

IF YOU'VE GOT SWAG HOMES, YOU'LL VOTE FOR LYSOSOMES

DEFINITION: an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. 
FUNCTION: digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. 
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE 
  1. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down biomolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids, almost like a stomach digests food.
  2. They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
  3. Lysosomes recycle products of biochemical reactions. Various materials are processed in different ways, e.g. some structures may be degraded within lysosomes and others are taken to the surface of the cell.
