Lysosomes are responsible for numerous jobs within the cell. They function as recyclers for organelles that are not functioning as well as they should be, so they tear it apart and the parts are then re-used to construct the organelle again. Another job of the lysosome is to break down anything the cell takes in with phagocytosis. Any "food" or necessary materials the cell requires can be broken down by the acids contained within the lysosome to be used in various functions for the cell.
