Question

which organelle is essentially a small sac of digestive enzymes that functions in degrading worn - out organelles, as well as macromolecules and particles taken into the cell by endocytosis? choose one: lysosome golgi apparatus nucleus endosome peroxisome

Explanation:

Lysosomes are membrane - bound organelles containing digestive enzymes. They break down worn - out organelles, macromolecules, and particles brought into the cell by endocytosis. The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids. The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material. Endosomes are involved in sorting endocytosed material. Peroxisomes are involved in lipid metabolism and the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide.

Answer:

A. lysosome
