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.
Lysosomes break down macromolecules into their constituent parts, which are then recycled. These membrane-bound organelles contain a variety of enzymes called hydrolases that can digest proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and complex sugars. The lumen of a lysosome is more acidic than the cytoplasm.oday, scientists know that the endomembrane system includes the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. Vesicles also allow the exchange of membrane components with a cell's plasma membrane. Membranes and their constituent proteins are assembled in the ER.
