The correct Answer is:
A
Lysosmes are small vesicles which are bounded by a single membrane and contain hydrolytic enzymes. The important enzymes are acid phosphatases, sulphateses, proteases, peptidases, nucleases, lipases and carbohydrases. These enzymes are capable of digesting carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
