These enzymes break down foreign material which may enter the cell. The name lysosome means releasing body and their enzymes cause lysis or disintegration of certain materials. They can be used to break down worn-out cellular components or bacteria engulfed by the cell.
Leave the egg as it is if you would like the yolk runny, or use a toothpick to poke a small hole in the yoke if you prefer the egg cooked through. Cover the dish loosely with a piece of plastic wrap and place it in your microwave. Set your microwave for one minute on medium heat and listen carefully. Depending on the wattage and type of microwave, poaching may take more or less than one minute. You will know the egg is done when you begin to hear popping noises.
Place the egg into the bowl of hot water, cover with a plate, and microwave at 50% power for 4 minutes. If you like a runnier yolk, remove and peel the egg now. If you want it to be more cooked, leave the egg in the water for 2 minutes.
