Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle is the clean up crew of the cell, containing acid to dissolve any dead, weak or damaged cell parts.
A
lysosome
B
ribosome
C
chloroplast
D
vacuole
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular Stomach Proteins aren’t the only type of cellular waste. Cells also have to recycle compartments called organelles when they become old and worn out. For this task, they rely on an organelle called the lysosome, which works like a cellular stomach.

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 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-5: -Lysosomes are the cell’s digestive system. They have digestive enzymes that degrade complex wastes, worn out organelles, invading pathogens and complex food molecules. They also break down the dead cells, so they are called the suicidal bags of the cell.
