What might happen to an animal cell if its lysosomes were to burst?(1 point)

1 answer

If an animal cell's lysosomes were to burst, the hydrolytic enzymes contained within the lysosomes would be released into the cytoplasm. This could lead to the digestion of cellular components, potentially resulting in cellular damage or cell death due to the breakdown of essential cellular structures and macromolecules. This process is known as autolysis.
