Question

what is the function of the lysosome?
a) produce chromosomes
b) synthesizes proteins
c) cell division
d) internal waste system of the cell

Explanation:

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes. They break down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign particles. This makes them like the internal waste - disposal system of the cell.

• Chromosomes are produced during cell division processes like mitosis and meiosis, not by lysosomes.
• Protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes (either free - floating or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum), not in lysosomes.
• Cell division is a complex process involving the nucleus (for DNA replication and segregation) and the cytoskeleton (for cell - shape changes and cytokinesis), not lysosomes.

Answer:

d) Internal waste system of the cell
