A. Stroma
B. Thylakoid membrane
C. Cell wall

Question #3
The organelle that contains enzymes for intracellular digestion is the:
A. Peroxisome
B. Chloroplast
C. Lysosome
D. Mitochondria

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles packed with hydrolytic enzymes (proteases, lipases, nucleases) that digest macromolecules, old organelles, and engulfed pathogens. They maintain an acidic pH (about 5.0) for optimal enzyme activity. Peroxisomes detoxify peroxides, mitochondria generate ATP, chloroplasts perform photosynthesis.
