Question
A cell in the body generates a mis-folded protein that is non-functional.The organelle that destroys this 'damaged' protein is:Group of answer choicesa megakaryocyte.a lysosome.an endosome.a blastocyte.
Solution
The organelle that destroys the 'damaged' protein in a cell is a lysosome. Lysosomes are known as the waste disposal system of the cell. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They might be used to destroy cells in the process of programmed cell death (apoptosis).
