Locations of extracellular enzyme production

Steps:

• Extracellular digestive enzymes used by prokaryotes are synthesized inside the cell and secreted externally.
• Hydrolytic enzymes used by eukaryotic phagocytes for digesting engulfed prokaryotes via phagocytosis are produced inside the cell in organelles like the Golgi apparatus.
• The question text is garbled ("digested hydrolytic enzymes"), making the distinction unclear between production and use sites.
• Choices B–D are identical, preventing differentiation.

Why A is correct:

• Not enough information due to ambiguous phrasing and repeated choices; A is stated as correct but lacks supporting detail tied to biology.

Why the others are wrong:

• B: Identical to others; cannot assess uniquely, but assumes outside production for both, contradicting intracellular synthesis.
• C: Identical to B; invalid due to duplication.
• D: Identical to B; invalid due to duplication.

Final answer: A
