Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Students in a science class were asked to investigate how missing or damaged organelles affect cellular homeostasis. Which of the following questions should they ask if they are investigating the importance of lysosomes?
A
Which organelle would most likely be affected first if there was no glucose present to convert energy for cellular needs?
B
Which organelle would most likely be affected if there were no amino acids for building proteins present in the cell?
C
Which organelle would most likely be affected if there were no enzymes present to digest old and damaged parts in the cell
D
Which organelle would most likely be affected if there was no sunlight available to convert solar energy into chemical energy?
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: -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-3: -The function of cells will be affected but in case mitochondria or nucleus like important organelles are absent; cell will not be able to survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main organelle involved in modification and routing of newly synthesized proteins to their destinations is endoplasmic reticulum.
