ANSWER
ANS: D The lysosomal membrane acts as a protective shield between the powerful digestive enzymes wi

thin the lysosome and the cytoplasm, preventing their leakage into the cytoplasmic matrix. Disruption of
vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc
the membrane by various treatments or cellular injury leads to a release of the lysosomal enzymes, whi

receptors, transport channels for electrolytes, and enzymes to drive active pumps?
vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc vc
a. Lipids
