Lysosomes degrade proteins. The kind of proteins they degrade are brought into the cell by endocytosis - they do not degrade proteins that are resident in the cell, proteasomes do that . Lysosomes fuse with the protein to be degraded and release the special class of enzymes they carry, hydrolases, that do the actual break down process. Lysosomes are also the key factor in ridding a cell of H2O2 in a cell, hence the hydrolases.
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.
Digest itself, taking whatever organic molecules it could use.

They are sent out of the cells via lysosomes.
It breaks down worn out organelles, because the cytoplasm cannot break down, for example, worn out mitochondria. It is also known as the "suicide sack" because it can release the acids within it if the cell is malfunctioning. It actually causes the cell to explode!
Lysosomes recycle proteins
Lysosomes perform many functions including autophagy , protection from foreign invaders , digestion , recycling e.t.c.
Lysosomes are cell organelles that function as the "clean-up crew" by breaking down and recycling waste materials, old cell components, and foreign substances.
Recycling center
hydrolyzes the macromolecules
im pretty sure that lysosomes break down nutrients in a cell
The main function of lysosomes in a cell is to break down and recycle cellular waste and debris, as well as to digest and remove old or damaged organelles.

Lysosomes are organelles in a cell that function to break down and recycle cellular waste, digest foreign substances, and help with cell maintenance and repair.
lysosomes are organelles that are used for transportation of proteins in the cell.
Lysosomes are cell organelles that act as the "garbage disposal" of the cell, breaking down and recycling waste materials, old cell parts, and foreign substances. They contain enzymes that help digest and break down these materials, maintaining the cell's overall health and function.
