Enzymes are stored in different compartments within cells, depending on their function. Some of the key organelles involved in enzyme storage include:
Lysosomes: These are membrane-bound organelles containing hydrolytic enzymes responsible for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Rough ER is involved in the synthesis and storage of enzymes, particularly those that are secreted or become part of the cell membrane. Golgi Apparatus: This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages enzymes for secretion or delivery to other organelles. Mitochondria: These organelles contain enzymes involved in energy production and metabolic pathways.
