Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cell organelles that are responsible for digesting food, worn out organelles and other cellular wastes are called ____
A
Mitochondria
B
Vacuoles
C
Lysosomes
D
Chlororplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A lysosome is a small vesicle-like eukaryotic organelle. It contains hydrolytic enzymes that break down waste material and cellular debris. They can be described as the stomach of the cell. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the key organelles involved in digestion and waste removal is the lysosome. Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are a kind of waste disposal system of a cell. They help to keep the cell clean by digesting any foreign material as well as worn-out cell organelles. Lysosomes contain powerful digestive enzymes capable of breaking down all organic material, so they are called digestive bags of 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.

Detailed explanation-5: –Lysosome-organelle that digests food particles, wastes, cell parts and foreign invaders. Humans are multicellular organisms, meaning we are made of many cells.
