Question

Lysosomes are generally found in
A. Animal cells
B. Plant cells
C. Both A and B
D. Bacterial cells

Answer 1

Hint:-The lysosomes are the membrane-bound organelles present in the cell. They have various digestive enzymes enclosed in a membrane. These digestive enzymes can digest and kill the virus and bacteria that enter the cell. and if the cell has become mature and is worn out then it also helps in digesting the cell itself.

Complete Answer:-Lysosomes are the membrane-bound organelles that are mainly found in the animal cells. The lysosome helps in the digestion of the microparticles and also helps in their breakdown. The microparticles include fats, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Lysosome also helps in the repair mechanism of the cell when the cell membrane gets damaged. It also helps in generating a response against the virus particles that enter the body.
When the foods enter our body, the lysosomes release its enzymes to break down the various food particles and convert them into usable energy form for the cells. when a foreign particle is detected then it is removed by the lysosome by the process known as the phagocytosis. The foreign particle is captured in a vacuole and is brought in contact with the lysosome. The lysosome then destroys the pathogen.
The lysosomes are also known as the suicidal bags. They are called so because if their digestive enzymes get released into the cell then it may cause the destruction of the cell and the cell will die.

So, the answer is ‘animal cell’.

Note:- Lysosomes are the membrane-bound organelles that are mainly found in the animal cells. lysosomes are rarely found in the plant cells. The plant cells have a hard and rigid cell wall structure that prevents the incoming of any pathogenic particle.
