Lysosomes


Lysosomes are used to digest food, clean up and recycle broken organelles. They digest the invaders that have been attacked by white blood cells. Lysosomes are responsible for Apoptosis or the programmed destruction of cells in multi cellular organisms. If lysosomes become diseased they often result in fatality of life. They also have the same structure as vacuoles and are only found in animal cells.
