Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle uses digestive enzymes to break down old cellular components and/or invading bacteria/virsus and recycles those components to other organelles for use in building new macromolecules?
A
Gap junction
B
Nucleus
C
Golgi Body
D
Lysosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are the smallest cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes that digest the waste materials and cellular debris. They can be described as the stomach of the cell. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes, which are responsible for digestion inside the cell.-They destroy worn our or damaged organelles.-They get rid of waste material and they protect the cell from foreign invaders.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in every eukaryotic cell. They are widely known as terminal catabolic stations that rid cells of waste products and scavenge metabolic building blocks that sustain essential biosynthetic reactions during starvation.
