Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lysosomal enzymes are involved in the process of phagocytosis, which is the ingestion of pathogens by specialized cells of the immune system. Once inside the cell, the pathogen is enclosed in a vesicle called a phagosome. The lysosome then fuses with the phagosome, and lysosomal enzymes break down the pathogen into its component parts. These components can then be presented to other cells of the immune system to help mount a response against the pathogen. Lysosomal enzymes produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as O₂-, H₂O₂, OH, and HOCl, which can damage or destroy the pathogen. However, lysosomal enzymes do not produce complement, which is a group of proteins that circulate in the blood and help to eliminate pathogens by tagging them for destruction by other cells of the immune system.
