  • Lysosomes: The Cell's Hydrolytic Enzyme Powerhouse
    The organelle that contains hydrolytic enzymes is the lysosome.

    Here's why:

    * Hydrolytic enzymes are enzymes that break down molecules by adding water (hydrolysis).

    * Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in animal cells. They are essentially the "recycling centers" of the cell.

    * Lysosomes contain a variety of hydrolytic enzymes that can break down a wide range of materials, including:

    * Worn-out or damaged organelles

    * Engulfed bacteria or viruses

    * Cellular debris

    * Macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids
