UPSC CAPF – 2022
The correct answer is C) rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Lysosomal enzymes are hydrolytic enzymes that are proteins. Proteins destined for secretion or for inclusion in membrane-bound organelles like lysosomes are synthesized on ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). These proteins are then processed within the RER and subsequently transported to the Golgi apparatus for further modification and packaging into vesicles, which bud off to form lysosomes.
