MCQ
Which among the following is not the function of lysosomes?
  • A
    Breaking down of food particles.
  • Perform photosynthesis.
  • C
    Protection against the pathogens.
  • D
    Digest worn-out cells.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Perform photosynthesis.
Lysosomes break down and digest food particles in a cell. They also help the cell to protect itself from pathogens, by forming a complex along with the pathogen, called phagosome. They also aid in recycling proteins and digest worn-out cells. Hence, they are known as the 'suicidal bags'. But they do not aid in photosynthesis.
