I believe the answer you are looking for is lysosomes. Lysosomes are common in animal cells, but not so much in plants, and they contain hydrolytic enzymes that aid in intracellular digestion. Basically, when white blood cells eat bacteria, lysomes are released onto the bacteria, which kills them (and breaks them down.) The process is called necrotic cell death.

Which organelle performs the digestion of bacteria within white blood cells?

The organelle responsible for digesting bacteria within white blood cells is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down cellular waste, pathogens, and other debris. When a white blood cell engulfs bacteria through phagocytosis, the bacteria are enclosed in a vesicle that merges with lysosomes, allowing for their digestion and elimination.

Which organelle is responsible for holding chemicals needed for digestion in an animal cell?

The organelle responsible for holding chemicals needed for digestion in an animal cell is the lysosome. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell. These enzymes function best in the acidic environment maintained within the lysosome.
