option c

Explanation:

Answer 2

(C). Perform photosynthesis is not the function of lysosomes

Explanation:

• Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that can degrade biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids.
• They include digestive enzymes that break down superfluous or worn-out organelles, absorbed viruses or bacteria, food particles, and macromolecules.
• In a cell, lysosomes break down and digest food particles. They also contribute to the recycling of proteins and the digestion of worn-out cells. As a result, they are known as "suicide sacks of cells." However, they are incapable of photosynthesis.
