Question

Animal cells can "commit suicide" using the ensymes in their lysosomes. (How) Can pant cells do this?

Answer 1

Yes in order to halt the spread of a virus

Answer 2

not why, but how, since they don't have lysosomes :)

Answer 3

The mechanism differs from that in animals although it, too, involves a protease that like caspases cleaves other proteins at Asp (and Asn) residues. Activation of this enzyme destroys the central vacuole, which is followed by disintegration of the rest of the cell.

Answer 4

thank you! By the way, you're quite good at this, aren't you?

Answer 5

kinda thats what we r studying in biology
