Which Cell Would Be Best for Studying Lyosomes

Question

Which cell would be best for studying lyosomes?
A) muscle cell
B) nerve cell
C) phagocytic white blood cell
D) leaf cell of a plant
E) bacterial cell

Accepted Answer

Lysosomes are organelles involved in the breakdown of macromolecules and cellular wastes. Phagocytic white blood cells, such as macrophages, rely heavily on lysosomes to digest and eliminate invading pathogens and debris. Therefore, studying lysosomes in phagocytic cells would be the most efficient choice.
