Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This organelle contains enzymes that break down proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
A
Lysosome
B
Ribosome
C
Mitochondria
D
Vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The organelle called ‘endoplasmic reticulum’ occurs in both plants and animals and is a very important manufacturing site for lipids (fats) and many proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Peroxisomes are responsible for oxidation reactions that break down fatty acids and amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
