Question
The following cell organelle is rich in hydrolytic enzymes:Select one:a. Peroxisomesb. Lysosomesc. Mitochondriad. Golgi bodies
Solution
The correct answer is b. Lysosomes. These organelles are known as the "stomach" of the cell. They contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. They can be thought of as the cell's waste disposal system. This process is known as autophagy. Lysosomes are also involved in various cell processes, including secretion, plasma membrane repair, cell signaling, and energy metabolism.
