A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain hydrolytic enzymes to break down cellular wastes and debris. They are found in eukaryotic animal cells and are known as suicidal bags
