- ABreaking down of food particles.
- ✓Perform photosynthesis.
- CProtection against the pathogens.
- DDigest 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.
