Lysosomes do conatain acid hydrolases that help digest or break down the contents of nonfunctional organelles. This is not necessarily 'dangerous' to the cell, because it only degrades tissue that is not useful.

What chemicals enable lysosomes to breakdown the antigen?

Hydrolases are the main chemicals present in lysosomes that enable the breakdown of antigens. These hydrolases, such as proteases, nucleases, and lipases, work together to degrade proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids into smaller molecules that can be recycled or eliminated by the cell.

Does an animal cell have lysosome?

Lysosomes are spherical organelles that contain enzymes (acid hydrolases) that break up endocytized materials and cellular debris. They are found in animal cells, while in yeast and plants the same roles are performed by lytic vacuoles.

True or false Lysosomes perform digestive functions within a cell?

Yes. Born as endosomes that contain inactive enzymes, lysosomes are spherical, membranous organelles containing activated digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are large and abundant within phagocytes, the cells that dispose of invading bacteria and cell debris. Lysosomal enzymes can digest almost all kinds of biological molecules. They work best in acidic conditions and so are called acid hydrolases.
