lysosomes have digestive enzymes that break substances to
be digested into small molecules.
peroxisomes contain enzymes that degrade mainly long-chained fatty acids and amino acids and that inactivate toxic agents including ethanol; within peroxisomes there is the enzyme catalase, responsible for the oxidation of organic compounds by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and, when this substance is in excess, by the degradation of the peroxide into water and molecular oxygen.

Answer:
If there were no lysosomes in the cell, it will not be able to digest food and there would be accumulation of wastes like worn out parts inside the cell. Thus, cell will not be able to survive. Lysosome (also called suicide sacs) have proteins that break down waste
