Question

Micro bodies differ from lysosomes in that

• A. micro bodies are surrounded by a single unit membrane, while lysosome membrane is double
• B. micro bodies are surrounded by double membrane, while lysosome membrane is single unit
• C. micro bodies contain lytic enzymes, while lysosomes do not
• D. lysosomes contain lytic enzymes, while micro bodies do not

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Lysosomes are electron microscopic, vesicular structures of the cytoplasm, bounded by a single membrane (lipoproteinous), which are involved in intracellular digestive activities contain hydrolytic enzymes. Micro bodies are small, spherical, single unit membrane-bound bodies in plants and animal tissues. All micro bodies, which probably contain oxidase enzymes produce hydrogen peroxide $ (H_{2}O_{2}). $
