This organelle has a big job. One of the things it does to provide digestive enzymes tha break down food brought in by Endocytosis. It is also part of the Recycling program within the cell. When an organelle gets old and worn out, this organelle will digest the organelle and recycle its components.

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	Lysosome
B	Ribosome
C	Vacuole
D	Centriole
E	Destruct organelle

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the major functions of lysosomes is the digestion of material taken up from outside the cell by endocytosis, which is discussed in detail in Chapter 12. However, the role of lysosomes in the digestion of material taken up by endocytosis relates not only to the function of lysosomes but also to their formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -For this task, they rely on an organelle called the lysosome, which works like a cellular stomach.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell organelle that helps in the digestion of young bodies and worn out cell parts is Lysosomes. Lysosomes are single membrane bound cell organelles that contain hydrolytic enzymes. These are also known as suicidal bags of the cell. When lysosomal enzymes are released, they hydrolyse the extracellular material.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomal enzymes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are transported to the Golgi apparatus, and are tagged for lysosomes by the addition of mannose-6-phosphate label.

Detailed explanation-5: -lysosome, subcellular organelle that is found in nearly all types of eukaryotic cells (cells with a clearly defined nucleus) and that is responsible for the digestion of macromolecules, old cell parts, and microorganisms.
