As we have learnt in:

Lysosomes

  • These are single membrane bound, round or spherical organelles that function as digestive component and organelle-recycling facility of animal cells. 
  • They are not found in the plant cells. 
  • These were discovered by Christian de Duve in 1955. 
  • They contain hydrolytic enzymes that function at the acidic pH to break down large molecules into small molecules.
  • Due to the presence of hydrolytic enzymes, they are also called suicidal bags. 


- Hence, the correct answer is lysosomes.
