Lysosomes are small cell organelles that contain acid hydrolases enzymes. Lysosomes are formed from Golgi complex and each lysosomes is covered by single membrane. These are non-specific, meaning can act on any type of substances.
The function of lysosomes in the cell is to fuse with food vacuole and deliver the enzymes present in it. Now the food in the food vacuole is digested and absorbed.
Lysosomes also help in digesting the cell itself from inside out. Hence, called suicidal bags of cells. This is much helpful in a process called apoptosis (programmed cell death).
They digest excess and worn out cell organelles. In case of phagocytes, these play an vital role in a process called phagocytosis.
