Answer 10

Lysosomes are cellular organelles
\(\bullet\) That contain acid hydrolase enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.
\(\bullet\) Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
\(\bullet\) Lysosomes take part in autolysis.
