• A. Urate oxidase
• B. Catalase
• C. Cathepsin
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Cathepsin

Lysosomes are the small vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes for the digestion of various material e.g., protease, peroxidase etc. Cathepsinsare proteases (that degrade proteins) found in all animals like frog, tadpole. It helps in the digestion of proteins that inhibits the growth of organs and dissolves the body parts during metamorphosis.
