Question

Statement 1: Lysosomes help in photosynthesis.
Statement 2: Lysosomes have digestive enzymes.

• A. Only statement 1 is correct.
• B. Only statement 2 is correct.
• C. Both the statements are correct.
• D. Both the statements are incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only statement 2 is correct.

Lysosomes are single membrane-bound vesicles. They are filled with digestive enzymes. They act as the waste disposal system of the cell and help digest the worn out parts of the cell. Hence, lysosomes are also called the ''suicide bags'' of the cell. Chloroplasts on the other hand, which contain chlorophyll help in the process of photosynthesis.
