Lysosomes are most abundant in:
Correct answer: D. Animal cells having phagocytic activity
- A. Plant cells having phagocytic activity
- B. Protozoa
- C. Bacteria with additional DNA plasmids
- D. Animal cells having phagocytic activity
Explanation
Animal cells to have lysosomes and when there is an infection caused by an external pathogen, the immune system is activated and the process of phagocytosis starts. In phagocytosis the phagocytes engulf the pathogen and into that a lysosome attaches itself and breaks the complex pathogen into smaller substances.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
