If the pH in lysosomes is increased to alkaline, what will be the outcome?
Options
- AHydrolytic enzymes will function more efficiently
- BHydrolytic enzymes will become inactive
- CLysosomal enzymes will be released into the cytoplasm
- DLysosomal enzymes will be more active
Correct answer
B. Hydrolytic enzymes will become inactive
