Answer 2

✰ Followings are the functions of Lysosome:

➛ They help to keep the cell clean by digesting any foreign material that enters the cell as well as worn out cellular organelles. Hence, called scavengers and cellular housekeepers.

➛ They remove foreign material by breaking it into small pieces through its powerful digestive enzymes. These enzymes can breakdown all organic materials.

➛ During starvation, the lysosomes digest stored food contents by autophagy and supply energy to the cell.

✰ More to know :–

☆ Lysosomes:

There are a kind of waste disposal system of the cell.

Lysosomes are membrane- bound sacs that are filled with digestive enzymes. These enzymes are made by rough endoplasmic reticulum. Lysosomes are also called suicidal bags of the cell.

During the disturbance in the cellular metabolism or when the cell gets damaged, lysosomes me burst and the enzymes can digest their own cell.
