I stain an unknown acid with purple dye. Later, you find the cell in two organelles. What are they?
I am guessing that one of them is lysosomes, because they break down unwanted elements. What would the second one be? Mitochondria?

The principle of staining works in such a way that acidic dyes stain the complementary basic components of the cell hence acidic dye rather than staining lysosome which is acidic will stain the relatively basic components of the cell.
