Lysosomes as digestive organelles

Steps:

• Recall lysosome definition: membrane-bound sac with hydrolytic enzymes for breaking down waste.
• Identify key features: single membrane, vesicle structure, contains multiple enzymes, present in eukaryotic cells.
• Compare options to features: check membrane type, origin, contents, and location.
• Select matching option based on accurate biology.

Why C is correct:

• Lysosomes are vesicles with a single membrane enclosing various hydrolytic enzymes that digest macromolecules, as per cell biology definitions.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Lysosomes have a single membrane and form from the Golgi apparatus, not a double membrane from the endoplasmic reticulum.
• B: Lysosomes are found in most eukaryotic cells, not restricted to a specific type (incomplete phrasing also disqualifies it).
• D: Lysosomes use a single membrane; double membranes describe mitochondria or chloroplasts.

Final answer: C
