Vesicle that contains substances that break down materials.
A
vacuole
B
lysosome
C
cytoplasm
D
mitochondrion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are vesicles that contain digestive enzymes. They are only present in animal cells. They function as part of the cell’s recycling system and can also help initiate cell death. When a cell needs to recycle large molecules, lysosomes release their enzymes to break down these bigger molecules into smaller ones.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes contain a wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes (acid hydrolases) that break down macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosome Action Since lysosomes are little digestion machines, they go to work when the cell absorbs or eats some food. Once the material is inside the cell, the lysosomes attach and release their enzymes. The enzymes break down complex molecules that can include complex sugars and proteins.
