Answer:
- Lysosome is a cell organelle present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
- It contains degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
- Lysosomes contain a wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes (acid hydrolases) that break down macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides.
- In endocytosis, extracellular macromolecules are taken up into the cell to form membrane-bound vesicles called endosomes that fuse with lysosomes.
