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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes breakdown/digest macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), repair cell membranes, and respond against foreign substances such as bacteria, viruses and other antigens. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down the macromolecules and foreign invaders.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes destroy microorganisms with the help of hydrolytic enzymes present in them. For e.g. a macrophage engulfs the microorganism through phagocytosis after which fuses with lysosomes, in which the pathogen is destroyed by hydrolytic enzymes. The key function of the lysosomes is the digestion & removal of waste.

Detailed explanation-5: -They have a simple structure; they are spheres made up of a lipid bilayer that encloses fluid that contains a variety of hydrolytic enzymes. The lipids that make up the bilayer are phospholipids, which are molecules that have hydrophilic phosphate group heads, a glycerol molecule, and hydrophobic fatty acid tails.
