CELL STRUCTURE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
I am the “trash room” and aid the cell with waste removal. Who am I?
A
Centriole
B
Golgi Apparatus
C
Endoplasmic Reticulum
D
Lysosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are the garbage disposal units of our cells, roaming around digesting cellular waste with their specialized enzymes and recycling excess or worn-out cell parts.

Detailed explanation-2: -As most high schoolers learn, the lysosome carries out waste disposal and recycling. In a process known as autophagy (meaning “self-eating”), it takes in old cellular components and unneeded large molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids and sugars, and digests them with the help of enzymes and acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes break down and digest food particles in a cell. They also help the cell defend itself from pathogens by forming a complex along with the pathogen, called phagosome. They also aid in recycling proteins and digest worn-out cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -For this task, they rely on an organelle called the lysosome, which works like a cellular stomach.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
