Question

Identify the cell organelle from the description given below
a) Is a part of the endomembrane system
b) Contains several hydrolytic enzymes
c) Helps in the digestion of macromolecules inside certain cells
d) Originates from Golgi apparatus

• A. Cytoplasm
• B. Lysosomes
• C. Peroxisomes
• D. Centrioles
• E. Nucleolus

Answer 1

The correct option is B Lysosomes

The cell organelle Lysosome is a part of the endomembrane system and helps in digestion of macromolecules with the help of the hydrolytic enzymes present in them. Cytoplasm is the protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus. Peroxisomes are found in the cytoplasm of many cells. Centrioles are a pair of small cylindrical organelles found near the nucleus in animal cells which help in the development of spindle fibers in cell division. The nucleolus is a small, spherical structure found in the nucleus of a cell during interphase.

So the correct option is "Lysosomes".
