Question

Which of the following cell organelles is involved in the formation of primary lysosomes?
A. Centriole
B. Golgi complex
C. Ribosome
D. Microsome

Answer 1

Hint: A lysosome is defined as a membrane-bound cell organelle which contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved in the various cell processes. They help in the breakdown of excess or worn-out cell parts. They may also be used to destroy invading viruses and the bacterias

Complete answer:
Lysosomes are a type of small vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes and they are surrounded by a single membrane which is up to 100nm in thickness. They are formed by Golgi apparatus and contain almost 60 different types of acid hydrolases which helps in digestion of various materials. The cisternae, a part of the Golgi body, is bud off in the form of small vesicles and fused with the acidic body to acid to form the primary lysosome. So the primary lysosomes are formed from the Golgi sacs. When they are fused with a substance to be digested then they become secondary lysosomes. They may digest materials absorbed from outside the cell by phagocytosis and become phagosomes. The golgi apparatus is a membrane bound cell organelle which is found in most cells. It is responsible for packaging proteins into vesicles prior to secretion and therefore plays a key role in the secretory pathway.

Hence the correct answer is OPTION(B)

Note: A lysosome is a cell organelle. They are like spheres. They have hydrolytic enzymes which can break down almost all kinds of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and cellular debris. They contain more than 50 different enzymes.
