Lysosomes are produced bya)Leucoplastb)Golgi bodiesc)Mitochondriad)Endoplasmic reticulumCorrect answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Accepted Answer

Lysosomes are known to contain more than 60 different enzymes, and have more than 50 membrane proteins. Enzymes of the lysosomes are synthesised in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The enzymes are imported from the Golgi apparatus in small vesicles, which fuse with larger acidic vesicles.

Answer

Yes it's pneumonic is GERL means Golgi body and ER responsible for making lysosome....but if asked order then:
ER->GB->LYSoSOME

Answer

Lysosome Production[edit] Lysosomes are manufactured and budded into the cytoplasm by the Golgi apparatus with enzymes inside. The enzymes that are within the lysosome are made in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which are then delivered to the Golgi apparatus via transport vesicles.

Answer

Production of Lysosomes by Golgi Bodies
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They are produced by the Golgi bodies in the cell. Here is how the Golgi bodies play a crucial role in the production of lysosomes:

Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing, packaging, and distributing proteins and lipids within the cell. It consists of a series of flattened sacs called cisternae.

Lysosome Formation
During the formation of lysosomes, the Golgi apparatus packages enzymes into vesicles called lysosomes. These enzymes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and then transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing.

Maturation of Lysosomes
The Golgi apparatus plays a key role in the maturation of lysosomes. It adds specific molecules to the lysosomal enzymes, ensuring that they are activated only after reaching the lysosomes. This process helps prevent the enzymes from damaging other cellular components.

Transport of Lysosomes
Once the lysosomes are fully formed and matured, they are transported to various parts of the cell where they are needed. The Golgi apparatus ensures that the lysosomes are delivered to the correct location within the cell through its intricate network of vesicles and tubules.
In conclusion, the Golgi bodies are essential for the production, maturation, and transport of lysosomes in the cell. Their role in packaging and distributing lysosomal enzymes highlights their importance in maintaining cellular function and homeostasis.
