Question
- ____ move around the cytoplasm, and digest substances that do not belong, or are no longer needed.
vacuoles
vesicles
lysosomes
ribosomes
Lysosomes are membrane - bound organelles. They contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes can break down various substances such as worn - out organelles (substances that are no longer needed) and foreign particles (substances that do not belong). Lysosomes move around in the cytoplasm to perform their digestive functions.
Vacuoles mainly store substances like water, nutrients, and waste products. Vesicles are involved in transport, for example, transporting materials within the cell or between cells. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.
