in the mitochondria
Viruses, bacteria, and old organelles that a cell ingests are broken down in the lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes that break down these foreign particles or damaged organelles into simpler molecules that can be recycled by the cell.
This occurs during a process called autophagy. Autophagosomes encircle damaged or old organelles. they then fuse with lysosomes where these organelles are broken down and digested. This takes place in the lysosome.
Old organelles might be broken down to be recycled in the cell to ensure the removal of damaged or dysfunctional components, preventing them from impairing cell function. Recycling organelles also allows the cell to reuse the raw materials to build new organelles or molecules, reducing the energy and resources required for synthesis. This process helps maintain the health and efficiency of the cell.
The vacuole
The organelle that breaks down waste produced by a cell is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that help break down unwanted molecules, old organelles, and foreign substances in the cell. This process is essential for cellular waste management and recycling.

In the lysosomes.
The janitor/custodian of a cell is the lysosomes. The lysosomes break down food, old cells, and broken cells. The janitor/custodian cleans up the wastes/place and takes the wastes somewhere where it will get broken down.
In the lysosomes.
Found in animal cells, lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, including old organelles.
The organelle responsible for breaking down old blood cells and other worn-out organelles in the cell is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that help to break down cellular waste and recycling the components for reuse by the cell.
