Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a cell’s lysosomes were damaged, what would happen to the cell?
A
The cell would produce too much protein
B
The cell would look yellow instead of green
C
The cell would be unable to break down the cell parts
D
The cell would not be able to reproduce
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If lysosomes get ruptured in a cell, the cell dies due to release of hydrolytic enzymes which destroys the cellular components.

Detailed explanation-2: -When lysosomes malfunction, recycling slows or halts, and otherwise harmless molecules build up to toxic levels. This accumulated material, known as substrate, can cause tissue and organ damage and related disease symptoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. If the cell is damaged beyond repair, lysosomes can help it to self-destruct in a process called programmed cell death, or apoptosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -if lysosomes will not be present in the cell then the forign bodies will attack the cell and will harm the cell. Other than this, the cell organelle which is not working and even if cell is dead and not working it will spoil other cell also because due to the absent nature of lysosome nothing will be digested.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
