E) Golgi

Respuesta :

Answer:

Lysosome (Ans. D)

Explanation:

Lysosomes are surrounded by a phospholipid membrane which separates the lysosome form the external environment. Lysosomes are known as garbage bag that contains enzymes which are capable of digesting molecules. Lysosome size range from 0.1-1.2 micrometers.

Lysosome is small organelles filled with hydrolytic enzymes which are capable of breaking down of biological polymers such as proteins, carbohydrate, nucleic acids & lipids from food. It is also capable of digesting a large structure with the cooperation of phagosomes (known as autophagy), clearing out the damaged structure.
