Description

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells that contain digestive enzymes. They play a crucial role in breaking down waste materials and cellular debris, contributing to cellular homeostasis and recycling processes.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters may encounter variations such as 'orgánulos de digestión' or 'cuerpos de degradación', but it is important to use 'lisosomas' in clinical contexts. Ensure clarity in communication, as the term may be confused with other cellular components like peroxisomes.

Example Sentences

EN: Lysosomes are essential for the degradation of cellular waste.

ES: Los lisosomas son esenciales para la degradación de desechos celulares.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing lysosomes with peroxisomes; using informal terms instead of 'lisosomas'; mispronouncing 'lisosomas' as 'lisosomas' (with incorrect stress).
