The lysosomes in a cell contain digestive enzyme that breaks down food, waste products, and pathogens. They can breakdown macromolecules like proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. They also break down old organelles and unneeded cell parts. When a cell takes in bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens, lysosomes break them down.

What is the definition of lysosome?
A lysosome is a cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in a cell. Lysosomes are single membrane bounded organelles that contain strong digestive enzymes and work for the breakdown of food and waste materials within the cells. During their function they fuse with a vacuole that contains the targeted material.
What is the organelle that contains anthocyanin?
The organelle is called the chloroplast The photosynthetic pigment it contains is called chlorophyll
The organelle is watery material which contains many of the materials involved in a cell metabolism?
cytoplasm :)
What organelle contains digestive enzymes and help to digest waste inside the cell?
Lysozomes* (Is the correct spelling)
Is the cytoplasm the largest organlle?
Cytoplasm doesn't count as an organelle, but is the gel like substance within cells that contains all the organelles. The nucleus is by far the largest organelle.
What organelles function to contain cell parts?
The cytoplasm contains all the organelles of a cell besides the nucleus and the cell wall. The vacuole (including central vacuole in some cells) is an organelle that stores materials, such as water, food, or enzymes, for metabolism. The vesicle is a small organelle that contains and transports materials inside the cytoplasm.
What The structure that contains digestive enzymes?
The structures that contain digestive enzymes are called lysosomes. Lysosomes are organelles that have a single membrane and are basically responsible of ridding waste materials from cells.
Which organelle contains digestive enzymes to break down?
Lysosomes
What organelle contains enzymes to break down molecules and worn out organelles?
Lysosome
Is bacteria a organelle?
No it's not, it is a prokaryote and contains no membrane bound organelles. Organelles are things like mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum
Q2. Which cellular organelle contains enzymes that are considered digestive?
lysosomes
What small organelles contains digestive enzymes?
another example is the peroxisome.
What is a lysosome?
Lysosomes are single membrane bound vesicular organelles which contain hydrolytic enzymes in the form of minute crystalline or semi-crystalline granules. They are used for waste disposal and the breakdown of old organelles.
What are the function the lysosome?
Lysosomes are organelles found only in animal cells that contains digestive enzymes. It uses these enzymes to break down food and foreign materials and pathogens.
Which cell organelle is surrounded by single membrane and contains digestive enzymes?
Lysosome
Cell organelle contains digestive enzumes that buds from Golgi apparatus?
lysosomes
Which organelle contains digestive enzymes to break down foreign invaders?
lysosomes
