Digest and recycle the cell's used components by breaking down proteins nucleic acids lipids and carbohydrates
.
Lysosomes breakdown/digest macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), repair cell membranes, and respond against foreign substances such as bacteria, viruses and other antigens. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down the macromolecules and foreign invaders.
Hope this helps, my dear friend!
