What will happen if a lysosome leaks enzymes?

During unfavorable conditions, when the lysosome bursts, the lytic enzymes within the organelle splits up all over the cell, this leads to the rupturing of the cell membrane or cell wall and thus resulting in the death of the cell.

What would happen if the lysosomes were damaged?

When lysosomes don't work properly, these sugars and fats build up in the cell instead of being used or excreted. Lysosomal storage diseases are rare, but can lead to death if untreated.

Which of the following transport mechanisms will be affected most directly by temporary shortage of ATP molecules inside the cell?

Which of the following transport mechanisms will be affected most directly by a temporary shortage of ATP molecules inside the cell? Aldosterone (a steroid hormone) is a small, nonpolar, hydrophobic molecule that enters a target cell by moving across the plasma membrane, down a concentration gradient.

How are H+ ions transported into lysosomes?

To maintain their acidic internal pH, lysosomes must actively concentrate H+ ions (protons). This is accomplished by a proton pump in the lysosomal membrane, which actively transports protons into the lysosome from the cytosol.
