Which organelle contains digestive enzymes that break down waste material and debris in the cell?
A
Endoplasmic reticulum
B
Lysosome
C
Mitochondrion
D
Golgi apparatus
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each organelle listed in the problem: Endoplasmic reticulum, Mitochondrion, Golgi apparatus, and Lysosome.
Understand that the primary function of the lysosome is to contain digestive enzymes that break down waste material and cellular debris.
Recognize that the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, not in breaking down waste.
Note that mitochondria are responsible for energy production through cellular respiration, not digestion of cellular waste.
Acknowledge that the Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell, not in breaking down waste.
