The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect with respect to lysosomes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structure of Lysosomes**: - Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that have a sac-like structure. They are often described as tiny spherical sacs. 2. **Function of Lysosomes**: - Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that are crucial for digestion within the cell. These enzymes include lipases (for lipid breakdown), proteases (for protein breakdown), and nucleases (for nucleic acid breakdown). 3. **pH Environment of Lysosomes**: - Lysosomes operate in an acidic environment, which is essential for the optimal functioning of the hydrolytic enzymes they contain. This is a key point to remember. 4. **Distribution of Lysosomes**: - Lysosomes are distributed throughout the cytoplasm of the cell, which is a correct statement. 5. **Synthesis of Lysosomal Enzymes**: - The enzymes found in lysosomes are synthesized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). This is also a correct statement. 6. **Evaluate the Statements**: - Now, we need to evaluate the given statements: - **Statement A**: "Lysosomes are simple tiny spherical sac-like structures." (Correct) - **Statement B**: "They are distributed in the cytoplasm of the cell." (Correct) - **Statement C**: "The enzymes of lysosomes work in basic conditions." (Incorrect, as they work in acidic conditions) - **Statement D**: "The enzymes of lysosomes are synthesized by RER." (Correct) 7. **Identify the Incorrect Statement**: - The incorrect statement is **Statement C**, which claims that lysosomal enzymes work in basic conditions. In reality, they function optimally in an acidic environment. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement with respect to lysosomes is: **"The enzymes of lysosomes work in basic conditions."** ---
