Assertion : Lysosomes are capable of digesting carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
Reason : Lysosomes are rich in hydrolytic enzymes like lipases, proteases and carbohydrates.

A

If both assertion and reason are true amnd reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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.
