Which one of the following cell organelles mainly functions as storehouse of digestive enzymes?
General KnowledgeBiology
- ADesmosome
- BRibosome
- CLysosome
- DVacuoles
Explanation
Lysosomes contain hydrolytic digestive enzymes and break down waste materials, worn-out organelles and foreign particles, earning them the name 'suicide bags'. They are the cell's principal storehouse of digestive enzymes. Desmosomes, ribosomes and vacuoles do not serve this function. Hence option C is correct.
