Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a cell is worn out, which organelle is responsible for breaking down and “cleaning up” the structure?
A
lysosome
B
cytoplasm
C
ribosome
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.

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: -They clean up the cells. They are the organelles through which oxygen enters the cell.

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.
