Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. Lysosomes eat worn out cell parts. Lysosomes are round membrane surrounded structures that can be found anywhere in the cytoplasm. Sometimes they are called suicide bags because they eat the worn out parts around them.
