A piece of mammalian tissue was homogenised and subjected to differential centrifugation. The diagrams below indicate the relative activity certain biochemical processes in these fractions. Which of the following fractions indicates the maximum hydrolytic enzyme activity?
Correct option is (C)
The graph (c) is correct as, it shows the highest biochemical activity in the lysosomes. These are membrane bound organelles which contain enzymes that degrade polymers into their monomeric subunits, i.e. hydrolytic enzymes.
