Question

Liver cells are exposed to radioactive amino acids; all proteins synthesizedduring this time are radioactive. The cells are then removed at 5-minute intervals and fractionated. Where in the cells is the radioactively labeled enzyme lipase performing its intracellular functions?A.On ribosomesB.In the cytoskeletonC.In lysosomesD.In the endoplasmic reticulumE.In the Golgi

Answer 1

Answer:

In the lysosomes

Explanation:

Lysosomes are membrane bound compartments that contains hydrolytic enzymes like protease, lipase, nucleases and many more which are used for the digestion of intracellular macromolecules.

Answer 2

Answer: Option C.

In the lysosomes.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are membrane bound organelles found in the eukaryotic cells. They contain hydrolytic enzymes that is capable of digesting excess wornout cells, food particles and destroying invading bacteria. Lysosomal Lipase is found in lysosomes which help to catalyse the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides.
