NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 8. Cell the unit of life
A cell organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes is
- A lysosome
- B microsome
- C ribosome
- D mesosome
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) lysosome
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(a) : Lysosomes are small vesicles which are bounded by a single membrane and contain hydrolytic enzymes in the form of minute crystalline or semicrystalline granules of \(5-8\ nm\). About \(50\) enzymes have been recorded to occur in them. All the enzymes do not occur in the same lysosome but there are different sets of enzymes in different types of lysosomes. The important enzymes are acid phosphatases, sulphatases, proteases, peptidases, nucleases, lipases and carbohydrases. They are also called acid hydrolases because these digestive enzymes usually function in acidic medium or \(pH\) of \(4-5.\)
