Which organelle is filled with enzymes that aid in intra-cellular digestions, breaking down waste and old organelles?
A
Mitochondria
B
Golgi Body
C
Lysosomes
D
Ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes. The lysosome is an organelle that contains digestive enzymes and acts as the organelle-recycling facility of an animal cell. It breaks down old and unnecessary structures so their molecules can be reused.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Lysosomes have powerful enzymes and acids to digest and recycle cell materials. Credit: Judith Stoffer. Proteins aren’t the only type of cellular waste. Cells also have to recycle compartments called organelles when they become old and worn out.

Detailed explanation-5: -The lysosome is the recycling plant of the cell that does intracellular digestion.
