Answer

Lysosomes are called the digestive bags of the cell. These membrane-bound organelles contain powerful digestive enzymes (hydrolytic enzymes) that break down various cellular materials, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Lysosomes digest worn-out organelles, food particles, and foreign substances that enter the cell.
