Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed strucutres (organelles) in cells that contain digestive enzymes. Damaged components from the cell or food particles engulfed by the cell are delivered to the lysosomes, where they are digested into fundamental building components such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acids to be used by the cell. They also help make proteins for the cel.
