Lysosomes digest cellular waste and macromolecules through the action of hydrolytic enzymes contained within their acidic environment. When a lysosome fuses with a vesicle containing the material to be degraded, these enzymes break down proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids into their basic components. This process not only helps recycle cellular components but also removes harmful substances, contributing to cellular homeostasis. The resulting molecules can then be reused by the cell for various metabolic processes.
