Question

autolysis is a process in which damaged or dying cells digest themselves via reactions catalyzed by their own digestive enzymes due to rupture of a specific organelle. Which organelle do you think is envolved in autolysis? Explain

Answer 1

Answer : Lysosomes.

Explanation : Autolysis is a cell destruction process which is uncommon in living adult organisms and usually occurs in injured cells and dying tissues in living organisms. It is initiated by the cell organelles which is lysosomes; they release digestive enzymes into the cytoplasm. These enzymes are released due to the termination of active processes in the cell, i.e after death.
