ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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. If the cell is damaged beyond repair, lysosomes can help it to self-destruct in a process called programmed cell death, or apoptosis.

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 have powerful enzymes and acids to digest and recycle cell materials.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes assist in the intracellular digestion of worn-out cellular organelles and materials taken into the cell by endocytosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents.
