Best Answer

A lysosome is a cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in a cell.

Lysosomes are single membrane bounded organelles that contain strong digestive enzymes and work for the breakdown of food and waste materials within the cells. During their function they fuse with a vacuole that contains the targeted material.
