Membrane encased cell organelles, called lysosomes, act as the stomach for the cell. Lysosomes contain powerful digestive enzymes that would actually break down and kill the host cell if they ever got loose. The lysosome is used to break down proteins, complex polysaccharides, and fat molecules into simple sugars, sugars that the cell can easily use to make energy.
