Question

which organelle contains digestive enzymes to break down waste and debris?
peroxisome
vacuole
endoplasmic reticulum
lysosome

Explanation:

Lysosomes are membrane - bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes are used to break down various substances such as waste materials, cellular debris, and even foreign particles that enter the cell. Peroxisomes are involved in lipid metabolism and the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Vacuoles mainly function in storage (e.g., water, nutrients) in plant cells (in animal cells, they are much smaller and have less prominent storage roles). The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

Answer:

Lysosome
