Lysosome contain digestive enzymes for almost all type of organic material. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over cell content and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them ,so they are also known as 'Suicide Bags'.

What is the primary function of this cell part (lysosome)?
A+ recycling center.
How does lysosome function?
lysosomes produce powerful enzymes which digest proteins
Is movement the function of lysosome?
No, the lysosome is the cell's " stomach " in that it catalyzes used and worn molecules in the cell by fusing with many. A large worn out mitochondria can be broken down into it's constituent parts when the lysosome fuses with it.
What is an analogy for a lysosome?
The main function of a lysosome is to digest, so it could be compared to a stomach.
Which organelle or structure contains enzymes that function best at acidic pH values?
The lysosome
What function does the lysosome perform in a cell?
lysosome is the main digestive organelle
What is a human analogy to a lysosome?
A lysosome is analogous (in function) to a human digestive system.
What does the lysosome function?
The function of a lysosome is to break down materials and some other things in the cell so that they are in a form that the cell can use.
What does the lysosome contain to carry out its function?
they digest it
Something that performs the same function as the lysosome?
Nothing

What does plant cell have instead of a lysosome that does the same thing as the lysosome?
plant cells do not have lysosomes but they do have a central vacuole that does a similar function of breaking down materials with enzymes
