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.

Why are lysosomes called natural scavengers and cellular house keepers?
Lysosomes serve as intracellular digestive system, so they are also known as digestive bags.They destroy any foreign material which enter the cell such as bacteria or virus. Lysosomes also remove the worn out and poorly working cellular organelles by digesting them to make way for their new replacements. Since they remove cell debris, they are also known as scavengers of the cell or cellular housekeepers or demolition squads.
Are lysosomes in plant or animal cells or both?
Lysosomes are found in both plant and animal cells.
Are lysosomes both in animal and plant cells?
Yes, lysosomes are found in both plant and animal cells
What type of human cells contain lysosomes?
Eukariyotes have lysosomes in their cells.Prokariyotes lack lysosomes in them.
Do plant and animal Cells have lysosomes?
Yes, both plant and animal cells contain lysosomes within the cytoplasm.
Why are lysosomes known as scavengers of cells?
I like pie and cookies and candy and soda and stuff like that because 2+2=4 and coke likes math.
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.

Do animal cells have lysosomes?
yes only because plant cells do not have any lysosomes.
In animal cells hydrolytic enzymes are packaged to prevent general destruction of cellular components what organelles functions in this compartmentalization?
Lysosomes function in this compartmentalization.

Why are lysosomes found more often in animal cells?
# why do blood cells have so many lysosomes?
Are lysosomes found in eukaryotes?
Yes, eukaryotic cells have lysosomes.
Are lysosomes in plant or animal cells or both?
Lysosomes are found in both plant and animal cells.
Which organelle releases chemicals that break down and recycle cells and organelles?
the lysosomes
Are lysosomes both in animal and plant cells?
Yes, lysosomes are found in both plant and animal cells
Why do animal cells have lysosomes but plant cells don't?
Actually, plant cells can have lysosomes but they usually don't. Hydrolytic enzymes of plant cells are more often found in the vacuole. Animal cells usually have lysosomes as well, but sometimes they don't.
