Due to some mutation, sperms of animals X lack an organelle that also plays an important role in digesting limiting membrane of egg to facilitate entry of sperm. This organelle is filled with hydrolytic enzymes. Identify this organelle and select the correct option regarding it. A Tadpoles lacking this organelle in their cells do not transform into adult frogs. C B During starvation this organelle brings about autophagy to provide the necessary energy. This organelle possesses photosynthetic pigments on its membrane. D Both A and B

The organelle in question is the lysosome. Lysosomes are known for their role in breaking down waste materials and cellular debris in cells. They are filled with hydrolytic enzymes, which can break down all types of biomolecules.

Regarding the options:

A) This statement is not necessarily true. While lysosomes do play a role in many cellular processes, there is no direct evidence to suggest that tadpoles lacking lysosomes in their cells would not transform into adult frogs.

B) This statement is true. During starvation, lysosomes can break down cellular components to provide necessary energy, a process known as autophagy.

C) This statement is false. Lysosomes do not possess photosynthetic pigments on their membrane. This is a characteristic of chloroplasts, not lysosomes.

D) This statement is false. As explained above, only statement B is true.

So, the correct option regarding the lysosome is B: During starvation this organelle
