The elimination of old and worn out cells is done by a cell organelle called lysosomes. It is also called the waste disposal system of a cell.

This lysosomes has powerful digestive enzymes that break down all organic organelles.

When a cell is about to be destroyed, this lysosomes burst and the digestive enzymes will spread everywhere in the cells. So, the cell becomes completely destroyed. So, the lysosomes are also called the suicidal bags of a cell.

What word do scientists use to describe any part of a cell enclosed by a membrane?

If it's inside the cell membrane and also enclosed in another membrane, it's an organelle. Not all organelles necessarily have membranes, but anything in a cell with a membrane would be an organelle. I would imagine you could call it a membranous organelle to be specific.
