Contains digestive enzymes. Can be modified to change the type of enzyme it contains. Only one enzyme per lysosome can be utilized at a time. Enzymes speed up and improve efficiency of digestion.
The lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down various biomolecules. Lysosomes allow the cell to digest materials ingested through endocytosis and clean waste products of the cell in a process called autophagy.
Processes
No processes.
Modifications
Modify the lysosome to select the enzyme it contains. By default, lysosomes contain lipase which targets single and double membranes.
A lysosome can instead contain chitinase, which targets chitin membranes, or cellulase, which targets cellulose membranes.
Effects
Equipping a lysosome with chitinase or cellulase allows the cell to digest other cells with chitin or cellulose membranes respectively. Without at least one lysosome with the respective enzyme selected, a cell will ejects other cells with these membranes if it attempts to engulf them.
Alongside its general stats, each lysosome contributes:
- +0.05 digestion speed. Engulfed matter will be digested more quickly.
- +4.5% digestion efficiency for the chosen enzyme. Engulfed cells with the enzyme's target membrane will yield more compounds when digested.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
