Answer:
Lysosomes digest many complex molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, which the cell then recycles for other uses. The pH of lysosomes is acidic (around pH 5) because their hydrolytic enzymes function best at this pH instead of at the neutral pH of the rest of the cell. Hydrolytic enzymes specifically break down large molecules through hydrolysis. During the process of hydrolysis, a molecule of water is added to a substance, causing it to cleave. Like the digestive system of the human body, which breaks down food using enzymes, the lysosome can be thought of as the “digestive system” of the cell because it breaks down molecules using enzymes.
hope it works out for you.... please follow me....

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.
