What is the function of lysosomes?

Answer 1

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes which are used to digest invading micro-organisms, break down toxins (mainly in the liver) and also break down unwanted or damaged cell organelles.

Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.

Answer 2

Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes commonly called digestive enzymes most important is acid phosphatase . These are produced by ribosomes , processed by Golgi complex and function in cellular digestion , autophagy , cell protection , metmorphosis , rejuvination of certain cells , etracellular digestion as in Fungi and cell death .
Lysosomes are the digestive organelles of the cell. Lysosomes contain enyzmes that if they were exposed to the contents of the cell it would be destructive.

Answer 2

Lysosome contain digestive enzymes for almost all type of organic material. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over cell content and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them ,so they are also known as 'Suicide Bags'.

Answer 3

The lysosomes destroy worn-out or damaged organelles, get rid of waste materials, and protect the cell from foreign invaders. the process of the membrane to prevent cells from getting damaged They release chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller food particles.
lysosomes are organalles that contain digestive enzymes.
Lysosomes in a cell are responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell.

Answer 4

Lysosomes function as the cell's recycling center by breaking down waste materials, cellular debris, and foreign invaders through the process of hydrolysis. They contain enzymes that can break down various molecules, helping to maintain cellular homeostasis.
