Question

Which of the following statements is not correct?
(A) Lysosomes have numerous hydrolytic enzymes.
(B) The hydrolytic enzymes of lysosomes are active under acidic pH.
(C) Lysosomes are membrane-bound structures.
(D) Lysosomes are formed by the process of packaging in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer 1

Hint: It is a membrane-bound organelle that has an acidic interior and is surrounded by a membrane. They fuse with the vacuoles to digest their contents. Lysosomes are commonly found in the eukaryotic cells. Golgi apparatus are organelles that result from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Complete answer:
A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They are linked with various cell processes. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria. A lysosome is a specific type of organelle that is very acidic, which means that it should be protected from the rest of the cell. It has a compartment present, which is surrounded by a membrane for storing digestive enzymes that requires a low-pH environment called hydrolytic enzymes. They break large molecules into small molecules. Lysosomes are organelles that neutralize bacteria or any pathogens that enter the cell. Lysosomes are considered as the important organelle that breaks down large molecules into small molecules so that they can be reutilized. These organelles are not formed by the process of packaging in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Note: Lysosomes are involved in various life processes. These destroy the invading viruses and bacteria. If a cell is damaged beyond repair, they can help it to self-destruct by a process called programmed cell death or apoptosis. They are also regarded as the suicidal bags of the cell.
