Which function is associated with lysosomes?
Correct answer: C. Phagocytosis
- A. Oxidative enzymes production
- B. Conversion of fatty acids to carbohydrates
- C. Phagocytosis
- D. Both "Conversion of fatty acids to carbohydrates" and "Phagocytosis"
Explanation
A lysosome is a membrane-bounded organelle that contains digestive enzymes. They are involved in intracellular digestion, the breakdown of excess or worn-out parts of cells, destroy invading viruses and bacteria, autophagy, and phagocytosis.

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.
