Hydrolytic enzymes must be segregated and packaged to prevent general destruction of cellular components. in animal cells, which of the following organelles contains these hydrolytic enzymes? a) peroxisomeb) glyoxysomec) chloroplastd) lysosomee) central vacuole

In animal cells, the following organelles contain these hydrolytic enzymes: d) lysosome

Hydrolytic enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of a chemical bond of a compound such as proteins, nucleic acids, starch, fats, and other macromolecular substances.

These enzymes digest or break down the macromolecules which can cause destruction if exposed to substances.Hydrolytic enzymes must be segregated and packaged to prevent the general destruction of cellular components.A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle found in many animal cellsthese spherical vesicles contain hydrolytic enzymes to destroy damaged cells and macromolecules.

Thus, the correct choice is - d) lysosome

Answer is D - lysosomes.

Peroxisomes are found in animal cells though the enzymes they contain perform redox rather than hydrolytic reactions.

The remaining options are found in plant cells but not animal cells.
