Question
enzymes that break down molecules in a cell are typically found in which organelle?
cytoplasm
lysosomes
endoplasmic reticulum
golgi apparatus
mitochondria
Lysosomes are organelles filled with digestive enzymes that function to break down waste molecules, cellular debris, and foreign substances within the cell. The cytoplasm is a general cell space, not an organelle; the endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins/lipids; the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages molecules; mitochondria produce energy via cellular respiration.
