Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
this organelle contains enzymes that breaks down big molecules to smaller molecules (Analogy:garbage disposal)
A
lysosome
B
cell membrane
C
vacuole
D
endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes. In animal cells, the lysosomes are the cell’s “garbage disposal.” Digestive enzymes within the lysosomes aid the breakdown of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids, and even worn-out organelles.

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: -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. Additionally, they may also be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes have powerful enzymes and acids to digest and recycle cell materials. Credit: Judith Stoffer. Proteins aren’t the only type of cellular waste. Cells also have to recycle compartments called organelles when they become old and worn out.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes are like trash cans because lysosomes get rid of unwanted things inside the cell like trashcans are used to get rid of unwanted things inside a house.
