Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane surrounding a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents.

Autophagy, being the degradation of cytoplasmic components as well as other organelles, is generally done with the lysosomes. The lysosomes, contain enzymes (hydrolase and others)to digest these worn out, damaged, or infected parts, which keeps the cell healthy and clean. mTOR regulates this process (mammalian target of rapamycin). I don't know of any other organelles that are involved in this process but lysosomes do carry out a similar procedure to autophagy. It's called autolysis, and that is basically when the lysosome, excretes all of its digestive juices into the cell. It's like a self destruct and the entire cell is condemned to a digestive end. Don't worry, it only applies to damaged cells.
lysosomes are known as digestive bag because it digest every foreign material as well as worn out cell organelles. It contain powerful digestive enzymes which are capable of breaking down all organic materials.

It appears the answer is the lysosome. Look up ("clean up" "cell") on Google, and there are references to the lysosomes being the clean up crew of the cell.

Lysosomes are vesicles (vesicles= small, spherical, single-membrane sacs used for temporary storage and transport within a cell and are classified by their contents) that contain digestive enzymes. In the process of autophagy, lysosomes digest worn-out organelles within cells. In the process autolysis, damaged or extra cells are digested and broken down by their own lysosomes.

Lysosomes can be used to destroy bacteria that invade body cells. They also serve an important function in the embryonic development of fingers and toes. So basicly, they digest and recycle cell components. -Hope this helps
No.
the answer is lysosomes i think
