The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding lysosomes, we need to evaluate each statement provided and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: The acidic condition is maintained by pumping protons to the exterior part.** - This statement is incorrect. Lysosomes maintain an acidic environment (pH around 4.8) by pumping protons (H⁺ ions) from the cytosol (the interior of the cell) into the lysosome, not to the exterior. Therefore, this statement is false. 2. **Statement B: Intercellular digestion occurs.** - This statement is also incorrect. Lysosomes are involved in intracellular digestion, meaning they digest materials within the cell, such as worn-out organelles or engulfed pathogens. Therefore, this statement is false. 3. **Statement C: All types of macromolecules are digested.** - This statement is correct. Lysosomes contain various enzymes (acid hydrolases) that can break down all types of macromolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Therefore, this statement is true. 4. **Statement D: The enzymes present in vesicles belong to acid hydrolases.** - This statement is correct. The enzymes found in lysosomes are indeed known as acid hydrolases, which function optimally in the acidic environment of the lysosome. Therefore, this statement is true. ### Conclusion: The correct statements are **C and D**.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follows it. Bile juice is stored in a sac called gall bladder, located near its organ of secretion, liver. The gall bladder releases the bile juice into the small intestine whenever food reaches there. Though bile juice is devoid of any digestive enzymes, it is required for the digestion of fats. The fats cannot be digested easily because they are insoluble in water and are present as large globules. Bile juice breaks down big fat droplets into smaller droplets. These are then easily digested by the enzymes released from the pancreas. (a) Which organ secretes the bile juice ? (b) Why is digestion of fats difficult as compared to that of other nutrients ? (c ) How does bile juice help in digestion of fat ? (d) Where is the digestion of fat completed ? (e ) Does bile juice digest fat completely ?
