It all depends completely on which molecules you are breaking down. The main two that people talk about are amylases and proteases. Amylases breaks down starch while proteases breaks down protein. There are more and if it is something different than this I would be happy to help.

Small organelles that are used to digest and breakdown many macromolecules into smaller molecules for use in the cell is called?

These organelles are called lysosomes. They contain enzymes that break down various macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates into smaller molecules that can be used by the cell for energy or building new structures. Lysosomes help maintain cellular homeostasis by recycling cellular waste and removing damaged organelles.

First of all enzymes dont 'destroy'. They break down molecules to simpler ones. These are called breaker enzymes.


What are vesicles which contain enzymes that break down large molcules?

They are called lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles filled with enzymes that help digest large molecules into smaller components. These enzymes work best in the acidic environment inside the lysosome.


Why enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes?

Careful! Not all enzymes are hydrolytic. Hydrolytic enzymes catalyse reactions in which there is breaking of molecules (involving the participation of water molecules). There are enzymes which catalyse reactions in which molecules join together to form a larger molecule (condensation reactions)
