Q.The single membrane - bound cell organelle is –

The tonoplast is the selectively permeable membrane that surrounds the vacuole, regulating the movement of substances (like water, ions, and stored solutes) into and out of it.

In a mature plant cell, a large membrane-bound sac called the vacuole (often occupying up to 90% of the cell volume) stores water, ions, and various metabolites, and helps maintain turgor pressure. The single membrane that bounds this vacuole and separates its contents from the surrounding cytoplasm is specifically nam …

The tonoplast is the selectively permeable membrane enclosing the vacuole, regulating what enters and leaves it.

Plant cells commonly contain a large central vacuole filled with cell sap (water, salts, sugars, organic acids, and sometimes pigments/wastes). This vacuole is bounded by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Like the plasma membrane, the tonoplast is selectively permeable, controlling the movement of ions and other materials between the cytoplasm and the vacuole. By regulating the …

Lysosomes are the cell's 'digestive bags', rich in hydrolytic enzymes.

Lysosomes are single membrane-bound organelles produced by the Golgi apparatus. They contain a wide range of hydrolytic (hydrolysing) enzymes -- including lipases, proteases, carbohydrases, and nucleases -- that function best at the acidic pH maintained inside the lysosome. These enzymes can break down almost all types of biomolecules, allowing lysosomes to digest foreign material engulfed by the cell (via phagocytosis), worn-out organelles (autophagy), and, upon cell death/injury, even the cell's ow …

Lysosomes are single-membrane-bound organelles; mitochondria and the nucleus are double-membraned, and ribosomes have no membrane at all.

Cell organelles differ in their membrane architecture. Lysosomes are membrane-bound sacs formed from the Golgi apparatus, enclosed by a SINGLE membrane, and contain hydrolytic enzymes for intracellular digestion. Mitochondria have TWO membranes (an outer and a highly folded inner membrane forming cri …

The contractile vacuole's osmoregulatory/excretory role is classically illustrated by Amoeba.

A contractile vacuole is a membrane-bound organelle that rhythmically fills with water and metabolic waste collected from the cytoplasm and then contracts, expelling its contents outside the cell. Because Amoeba lives in freshwater (a hypotonic environment relative to its cytoplasm), water constantly enters the cell by osmosis; if this water were not removed, the cell would swell and burst. The contractile vacuole solves this by continuously pumping the excess water (along with some nitrogenous waste) out of the cell, so it functions in both osmoregulation and excretion.

The endomembrane system is a group of organelles that work together via direct membrane continuity or vesicle transport; mitochondria are excluded because their membranes function independently, not in coordination with this network.

The endomembrane system comprises the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes, and vacuoles -- all connected structurally or functionally through vesicular trafficking. Mitochondria (and chloroplasts) are excluded from this system because they have their own double membranes, their own DNA, and function autonomously (per the endosymbiotic theory, they o …

Lysosomes are the cell's digestive organelles, packed with hydrolytic enzymes that break down macromolecules and worn-out cell parts at acidic pH.

Let us check each option:

• Ribosome — the site of protein synthesis; it has no digestive role.
• Lysosome — a small, membrane-bound vesicle budded off from the Golgi apparatus. It is loaded with a battery of hydrolytic (digestive) enzymes — proteases, lipases, carbohydrases and nucleases — that work best at the acidic pH maintained inside the vesicle. Lysosomes digest worn-out cell organelles, foreign material taken in by the cell, and, if the membrane ruptures, even the cell's own contents (hence the nickname "suicide bags"). …

Lysosomes are called 'suicidal bags of the cell' because they contain powerful hydrolytic (digestive) enzymes that, if released within the cell, can digest and destroy the cell's own components.

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles produced by the Golgi apparatus, containing a wide range of hydrolytic enzymes (lipases, proteases, carbohydrases, etc.) that are active at the acidic pH found inside the lysosome. These enzymes are capable of digesting almost all kinds of organic material — carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
