A cell packs its digestive enzymes inside a membrane-bound sac rather than loose in the cytoplasm. What does this achieve?

1. A membrane around an organelle creates a separate compartment inside the cell. 2. That compartment can hold conditions — a pH, an enzyme set — different from the cytoplasm around it. 3. So reactions that would interfere with one another can run at the same time in different places. 4. It also confines destructive enzymes, protecting the rest of the cell from being digested. 5. Giving the cell its shape is the work of the cell wall or membrane, which is the answer candidates gave when asked about compartmentalisation. _Source: NECTA ACSEE 2022 Biology 133/1, Question 1: Cytology_
