Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Lysosomes carry ____
A
Proteins
B
Digestive enzymes
C
RNA
D
Lipid molecules
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed compartments filled with hydrolytic enzymes that are used for the controlled intracellular digestion of macromolecules. They contain about 40 types of hydrolytic enzymes, including proteases, nucleases, glycosidases, lipases, phospholipases, phosphatases, and sulfatases.

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: -So, the correct answer is ‘Hydrolase’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes are spherical membranous sacs of enzymes. These enzymes are acidic hydrolase enzymes that can digest cellular macromolecules. The lysosome membrane helps to keep its internal compartment acidic and separates the digestive enzymes from the rest of the cell.
