what is the function of a lysosome?
A
To create energy for the cell
B
To command the cell what to do
C
To remove waste using digestive enzymes from the cell
D
To protect the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -“Lysosomes are sphere-shaped sacs filled with hydrolytic enzymes that have the capability to break down many types of biomolecules.” In other words, lysosomes are membranous organelles whose specific function is to breakdown cellular wastes and debris by engulfing it with hydrolytic enzymes.

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: -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-4: -As most high schoolers learn, the lysosome carries out waste disposal and recycling. In a process known as autophagy (meaning “self-eating”), it takes in old cellular components and unneeded large molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids and sugars, and digests them with the help of enzymes and acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes are a kind of waste disposal system of a cell. They help to keep the cell clean by digesting any foreign material as well as worn-out cell organelles. Lysosomes contain powerful digestive enzymes capable of breaking down all organic material, so they are called digestive bags of the cell.
