A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/12/O/N/21

Explanation
Lysosomes form via Golgi packaging of RER-synthesized enzymes Steps:
- Recall that hydrolytic enzymes are synthesized on ribosomes attached to the rough ER.
- These enzymes are transported to the Golgi body for modification and packaging.
- The Golgi body forms vesicles containing enzymes, which become lysosomes.
- Mitochondria play no role in this process.
Why C is correct:
- The Golgi body modifies and packages hydrolytic enzymes into lysosomes, as per the endomembrane system's secretory pathway.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Rough ER synthesizes the enzymes but does not form lysosomes.
- B: Mitochondria generate ATP but are unrelated to lysosome or enzyme production.
Final answer: C
