हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: Lysosomal vesicles are characterized by having an internal basic pH optimum for their hydrolytic enzymes. Statement II: The isolated hydrolytic enzymes of lysosomes (hydrolases) are capable of digesting carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 4
