Lysosomes are formed by which organelle?
Correct answer: B. Golgi apparatus
- A. Nucleolus
- B. Golgi apparatus
- C. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- D. Centriole
Explanation
Hydrolytic enzymes are made on the rough endoplasmic reticulum but the Golgi apparatus packages and buds them off as lysosomes, after tagging them so they are sorted correctly. This is why the Golgi is described as the packaging and dispatch organelle. The nucleolus assembles ribosomal subunits and centrioles organise the spindle.

About Cytoplasmic Organelles
Cytoplasmic organelles are the specialized structures suspended in cytoplasm, including mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles and centrosomes. Questions compare their structures and functions in animal and plant cells, including chloroplasts and the role of the endomembrane system in transport and secretion.
