Here's why:
* Lysosomes are small, membrane-bound organelles found within cells. They contain a variety of powerful enzymes capable of breaking down and digesting a wide range of materials.
* Pathogens are disease-causing agents, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
* When a cell engulfs a pathogen (through phagocytosis), the lysosome fuses with the vesicle containing the pathogen. The lysosomal enzymes then degrade the pathogen, rendering it harmless.
So, yes, a body containing enzymes (specifically lysosomes) can break down and dissolve pathogens.
