Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An organelle involved in breaking down lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, damage organelles, and bacteria are ____
A
Golgi Appaparatus
B
Vesicles
C
Vacule
D
Lysosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Lysosomes breakdown/digest macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), repair cell membranes, and respond against foreign substances such as bacteria, viruses and other antigens.

Detailed explanation-3: -The completed autophagosome or amphisome fuses with a lysosome, which supplies acid hydrolases. The enzymes in the resulting compartment, an autolysosome, break down the inner membrane from the autophagosome and degrade the cargo. The resulting macromolecules are released and recycled in the cytosol.
