Question

Lysosomes function in:

• A. Protein synthesis
• B. Lipid synthesis
• C. Intracellular digestion
• D. Processing and packaging

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Intracellular digestion

Inside a cell, numerous organelles function to remove wastes. One of the key organelles involved in digestion and waste removal is Lysosome because they are filled with hydrolytic enzymes. These are also involved in the removal of worn-out organelles. For this reason, they are called the suicide bags of the cell.

Hence, the correct answer is 'intracellular digestion'.
