Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes break down and digest food particles in a cell. They also help the cell defend itself from pathogens by forming a complex along with the pathogen, called phagosome. They also aid in recycling proteins and digest worn-out cells. Hence, they are called ‘suicide bags of cells’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes are a central part of the cell’s waste disposal system. The tiny bubbles, surrounded by a fat-like membrane, function like a miniature recycling factory: They break down defective cell components, harmful molecules, or proteins that are no longer needed into their individual parts.
