vacuoles basically have the same functions as vesicles therefore, in plant cells, when lysosomes are fused with the vacuole, the contents within the vacuole are digested by lysosomes' hydrolytic enzymes into the simpler subunits. Remember that vacuoles not only store H2O, sugar and salt, but also pigments and toxic molecules. The digested contents are now simpler molecules that are released into the cytoplasm. Also, normal rejuvination occurs when parts of a cell are digested within its own lysosomes (autodigestion).
