Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelles are filled with enzymes that aid in intra-cellular digestion, breaking down wastes and old organelles?
A
mitochondria
B
Golgi body
C
lysosomes
D
ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In other words, lysosomes are membranous organelles whose specific function is to breakdown cellular wastes and debris by engulfing it with hydrolytic enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes. The lysosome is an organelle that contains digestive enzymes and acts as the organelle-recycling facility of an animal cell. It breaks down old and unnecessary structures so their molecules can be reused.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The lysosome is the recycling plant of the cell that does intracellular digestion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes. Closely related to the Golgi apparatus are lysosomes. These membrane-bound organelles are the sites where most intracellular digestion occurs.
