Reasons Why Lysosome should not be Chief Organelle

Lysosomes are not the fit candidate to be Chief Organelle because there are defects and disorders that can happen if it is not functioning properly. A know disease that can happen if the lysosome is not working properly is the Lysosomal Storage Disorder. According to the source it is” inherited disorders caused by a deficiency of specific enzymes” because it is required to break down complex carbohydrates like glycosaminoglycans. But the problem is when these enzymes are not produced, the breakdown of the carbohydrate is blocked. And when it is blocked it interferes with the whole function of the lysosome cause it to disrupt and not work properly, and this disruption gives way to the Lysosome Storage Disorder.There are also many other disorders that are connected to the lysosome, so the lysosome is not the right fit for Chief Organelle.
