The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which organelle is associated with high levels of acid lipases, proteases, and carbohydrases activity in a subcellular fraction from liver tissue, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Enzymes**: The question mentions three types of enzymes: acid lipases, proteases, and carbohydrases. These enzymes are involved in the breakdown of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates, respectively. 2. **Understand the Function of Each Enzyme**: - **Acid Lipases**: These enzymes break down lipids (fats) into fatty acids and glycerol. - **Proteases**: These enzymes hydrolyze proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. - **Carbohydrases**: These enzymes break down carbohydrates into simple sugars. 3. **Determine the Location of These Enzymes**: - Hydrolytic enzymes, such as the ones mentioned, are typically found in specific organelles that are responsible for digestion and breakdown processes within the cell. 4. **Evaluate the Organelles Provided in the Options**: - **Nuclei**: Primarily involved in storing genetic information (DNA) and does not contain these hydrolytic enzymes. - **Mitochondria**: Known as the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for ATP production and cellular respiration, not for hydrolysis of macromolecules. - **Golgi Bodies**: Involved in the packaging and transport of proteins and lipids but do not contain high levels of hydrolytic enzymes. - **Lysosomes**: These are membrane-bound organelles that contain a variety of hydrolytic enzymes, including lipases, proteases, and carbohydrases. They function in breaking down waste materials and cellular debris, and they are active in acidic conditions. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the above analysis, the organelle associated with high levels of acid lipases, proteases, and carbohydrases activity is the **Lysosome**. ### Final Answer: The organelle associated with high levels of acid lipases, proteases, and carbohydrases activity is **Lysosomes** (Option B).
