What is the Function of Lysosomes?
Answer – Lysosomes function as the digestive systems of the cells.
Explanation:
Lysosomes are cell organelles found floating freely in the cytoplasm. They contain digestive enzymes and acids that are used to break certain parts and/or products of the cells.
Lysosomes aid cell metabolism by ingesting or digesting damaged and/or unwanted parts of the cell and debris that has entered the cell, either from the outside or as a byproduct of cell process. Lysosomes also help maintain the cell’s immunity as they can destroy bacteria or viruses that may invade the cell.
