LYSOSOMES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do lysosomes do, anyway?
A
They protect the other organelles inside of the cell.
B
They use energy from the cell to grow.
C
They help cells evolve.
D
They make energy from absorbed material.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is accomplished by a proton pump in the lysosomal membrane, which actively transports protons into the lysosome from the cytosol. This pumping requires expenditure of energy in the form of ATP hydrolysis, since it maintains approximately a hundredfold higher H+ concentration inside the lysosome.

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.
