Here's why:
* Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They are like the "recycling centers" of the cell.
* They contain powerful enzymes that can break down various waste products. These include worn-out organelles, bacteria, and other cellular debris.
* This process is called "phagocytosis," where the lysosome engulfs the waste and breaks it down into smaller molecules that the cell can reuse or expel.
