Lysosomesare cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris. They can be described as the stomach of the cell. They are found in animal cells, while in yeast and plants the same roles are performed by lytic vacuoles. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulf viruses or bacteria

What membrane-bound sac in the cytoplasm contains digestive enzymes that can break down large molecules?

The membrane-bound sac in the cytoplasm containing digestive enzymes is called a lysosome. Lysosomes play a key role in breaking down large molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, into smaller components that can be utilized by the cell. They also help in recycling cellular components and in cell waste disposal.
