Question

what is the function of the lysosome? (1 point)
o lysosomes produce proteins for eukaryotic cells.
o lysosomes store acidic enzymes that break down old/ worn out organelles.
o lysosomes are only present in bacteria cells, and work to protect the cells from invasion.
o lysosomes store water in plant cells.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are membrane - bound organelles in eukaryotic cells. They contain acidic enzymes that are used for breaking down old or worn - out organelles, cellular debris, and engulfed substances like bacteria. Protein production is mainly done by ribosomes. Lysosomes are not only in bacteria (they are in eukaryotes), and they do not store water in plant cells (vacuoles do that).

Answer:

Lysosomes store acidic enzymes that break down old/ worn out organelles.
