break down (digest) worn out cell parts, mostly in animal cells
A
cytoplasm
B
lysosomes
C
mitochondria
D
vacuoles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes contain portions of cytoplasmic components such as glycogen, mitochondria, or cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. Hydrolytic enzymes (phosphatases and proteases) provide intracellular digestion of worn-out cellular organelles and materials taken into the cell by endocytosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in every eukaryotic cell. They are widely known as terminal catabolic stations that rid cells of waste products and scavenge metabolic building blocks that sustain essential biosynthetic reactions during starvation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes are membrane bounded organelles found in animal and plant cells. They vary in shape, size and number per cell and appear to operate with slight differences in cells of yeast, higher plants and mammals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes, which use enzymes to break down foreign matter and dead cells. Peroxisomes, which use oxygen to break down poisons. Transport vesicles, transport contents between organelle as well as between cell exterior and interior.
