Question

Which one of the following statements about lysosomes is incorrect? If one of the many types of acid hydrolases found in the lysosome is nonfunctional, a lysosomal storage disease can develop. Lysosomes are acidic because they contain acid hydrolases. Lysosomes release the monomeric building blocks (like amino acids and nucleotides) into the cell. Autophagosomes form in the cytosol around old or broken down organelles; later, the autophagic vesicle fuses with a lysosome. Resident lysosomal proteins display a mannose-6-phosphate group which targets them to a late endosome.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Lysosomes are acidic because they contain acid hydrolases.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are small cell organelles that float outside nucleus. Lysosomes are present in the cytosol of the cells.

Lysosomes are acidic in nature having pH below 5 because of proton pumping through the plasma membrane to maintain this acidic pH.

This acidic nature of lysosomes play a role in fight against diseases.

Hence, the correct option is "B".
