Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. Lysosomes are like the stomach of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Peroxisome. Like the lysosome, the peroxisome is a spherical organelle responsible for destroying its contents. Unlike the lysosome, which mostly degrades proteins, the peroxisome is the site of fatty acid breakdown.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The ribosome is like the stomach because it breaks down food for energy like the ribosome does to produce proteins.
