Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lysosomes are organelles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down various types of biomolecules. They are involved in the degradation of worn-out organelles and macromolecules in a process called autophagy.

Answer: None of the above 
 Options B, C, and D are incorrect as lysosomes do not provide storage of starch in plant cells or contain anthocyanins that aid in pollination. Lysosomes are found in both plant and animal cells, and there is no evidence that they arose through endosymbiosis.
