They involve in recycling in cell. They have many enzymes for that

Why lisosomes are called scavengers of a cell?
Lysosomes are called scavengers of the cells because they remove cell debris consisting of dead and worn out cell organelle by digesting the same. Rather they nourish the cells by sending out digesting nutrients into the cytoplasm.
Parts of an animal cell?
Lysosome or the "suicide bags'' * is a membrane bound cavity in living cells that contain enzymes that are responsible for degrading and recycling molecules. cell membrane * a thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell. cytoplasm * a jelly like material outside the nucleus in which the organelles are located. Golgi body * packages protein and carbohydrates into membrane bound vesicle for "export" from the cell.
What are the parts of the cells?
Cell wall (ONLY IN PLANT CELLS) Cell Membrane Nucleus Cytoplasm Chloroplast (ONLY IN PLANT CELLS) Mitochondrion (ONLY IN ANIMAL CELLS) Vacuole Ribosomes Lisosomes Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Bodies
Write a short note on lysosomes?
LYSOSOME lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelle and are different from others due to their morphology.These were seprated component for the first for the first time by de duve in (1949).Lysosomes (lyso=spliting; soms=body)are found in most eukaryotic cells.Any foreign object that gain entry in to the cell is immegiately engulfed by the lysosomes and is completely broken in to simple digestible pieces.The process is known as phagocytosis(eating process of cell). They are most abundant in animal cells which exibit phagosytic activity.they are bounded by single membraneand are simple sacs in acid phosphate and several other hydrolic enzymes .These enzyme are synthesized on RER and are further processed in the Golgi appratus .The processed enzymes are processed enzymes are budded off as Golgi vesicles and are called priamary lisosomes .Lyssomes contain those enzymes which can digest the phagocytosed food partcles.They are also involved in the autophagy (self eating).During this process some old,wornout part of cell,such as old mitochondria are digested.Inthis way,materials degeneration of cell,as may occur duringsome develeopment processes.Lysosomes also release enzymes for exta cellular digestion.
