Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This organelle contains strong digestive enzymes to break down proteins, carbohydrates and lipids into small molecules.
A
cytoplasm
B
lysosomes
C
cell wall
D
nucleus
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: -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-3: -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-4: -Lysosomes. The lysosome is an organelle that contains digestive enzymes and acts as the organelle-recycling facility of an animal cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes filled with hydrolytic enzymes are used for the controlled intracellular digestion of macromolecules. They contain about 40 types of hydrolytic enzymes, including proteases, nucleases, glycosidases, lipases, phospholipases, phosphatases, and sulfatases.
