C Correct answer
Explanation

When cell is old or injured, lysosomes rapidly destroy organelles. In case, its own cell is ruptured, it bursts out releasing its hydrolytic enzymes in the cells, thereby digesting the damaged cell. Therefore, it is called as the sucidial bag of the cell.

Multiple choice
  1. The outer covering of a vacuole

  2. The inner folds of mitochondria

  3. The inner covering of lysosomes

  4. The outer covering of golgi apparatus

A Correct answer
Explanation

Vacuoles are covered by tonoplast and they store water, food material and waste products in a cell.

Multiple choice
  1. Secretory organelles which secrete enzymes to digest wood.

  2. Ribosomes, which are associated with protein synthesis.

  3. Nucleus which controls and coordinates the cellular activities.

  4. Lysosome which contains the hydrolytic enzymes.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Secretory organelles, which secrete enzymes to digest wood. The Protists inside the termites are Trichoflagellates, which secrete a digestive enzyme, cellulose, to digest cellulose. When these enzymes are lost, the termites can not digest wood.
