Role of lysosomes are:
Correct answer: D. All of these options
- A. Hydrolytic enzymes
- B. Autophagy
- C. Destruction of cell
- D. All of these options
Explanation
Lysosomes are single membranous, spherical vesicles. They contain digestive or hydrolytic enzymes that digest various substances. They also carry out autophagy by engulfing and digesting unwanted substances in the cells. This leads to the destruction of the cell as lysosomes engulf the organelles in the cell.

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.
