To show that lines are parallel, we draw small arrow marks on them. In the figure above, note the arrows on the lines PQ and RS. When we write about parallel lines there is a shorthand we can use. We can write which is read as the line segment PQ is parallel to the segment RS.
Lysosome[edit] Lysosomes are spherical bodies, or vacuoles that are enclosed by a single membrane. The membrane serves as a protectorate to the cell, since lysosomes contain harsh digestive enzymes, which would cause significant damage if exposed to cell content.
When food is eaten or absorbed by the cell, the lysosome releases its enzymes to break down complex molecules including sugars and proteins into usable energy needed by the cell to survive. If no food is provided, the lysosome's enzymes digest other organelles within the cell in order to obtain the necessary nutrients. In addition to their role as the digestive component and organelle-recycling facility of animal cells, lysosomes are considered to be parts of the endomembrane system.
