Which accurately explains the functions of the organelles lysosomes? They:
A. Are sacs filled with enzymes that breakdown and remove foreign substances and
worn-out cell parts
B. Function in association with the endoplasmic reticulum to modify protein end
, products and package them into secretory granules or vesicles
C. Are small particles of nucleoproteins that are involved in the synthesis of proteins
that remain in the cell as cytoplasmic structural or functional elements
