Best Answer

Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. Lysosomes eat worn out cell parts. Lysosomes are round membrane surrounded structures that can be found anywhere in the cytoplasm. Sometimes they are called suicide bags because they eat the worn out parts around them.

Lysosomes are cells' phagocytic organelles. These are involved in catabolism of many nutrients and also phaocytose many foreign invaders which gain entry to the cell.

They also dispose off waste products and convert them into subunits which can be excreted.
