Question:

What is another name of lysosomes?

Author: H K



Answer:

Acid Hydrolases since their hydrolyzing activity is acid dependent (acidic pH) containing an ATP controlled proton pump so that intralysosomal pH is 4.6-5. Which serves in protection so that lysosomal enzymes only active in lysosome and not cytoplasm and membrane is protected from getting digested by enclosed enzymes in high glycosylation state.
