Lysosomes are packages of digestive enzymes which can digest the cell they are in, if the lysosome breaks open; this is intended to prevent dead cells from cluttering up the larger, multicellular organism.

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down cellular waste materials, toxins, and foreign invaders such as bacteria. They help in the digestion of macromolecules, recycling of cellular components, and maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Dysfunction of lysosomes can lead to various diseases known as lysosomal storage disorders.

What would happen if mitochondria had a structure like lysosomes?
The two have different functions. Mitochondria makes energy for the cell to function while lysosomes brake down unwanted materials. It is said that mitochondria are the power houses and lysosomes are the waste disposal system. They would maybe able to work with one inside the other. The lysosomes providing useful items to the mitochondria, but it didn't work out that way.
What cell breaks down food molecules cell wast and worn out cell parts?
it's not the mitochondria, it's lysosomes. mitochondria is composed of proteins and enzymes.
What cell organelles are responsible for disposing cellular waste?
lysosomes are the "recycling center" of the cell
Where do lysosomes get sythesized?
Golgy bodies produce lysosomes.
What is the difference between primary and secondary lysosomes?
Primary lysosomes are newly formed vesicles containing digestive enzymes, while secondary lysosomes are formed when primary lysosomes fuse with endocytic vesicles containing material to be digested. Essentially, primary lysosomes are the initial structures while secondary lysosomes are the active, digestive forms.
