Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lysosomes are specialized vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes that degrade cellular waste, macromolecules, and cellular components. They have a highly acidic (pH 4-5) interior due to the activity of the proton pumps in their membrane. This acidic environment allows lysosomal enzymes to function optimally and prevents the release of potentially harmful enzymes into the cytoplasm.
