Wikipedia definition
2. LysosomeLysosomes are cellular organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. These are non-specific. They can be described as the stomach of the cell. They are found in animal cells, while their existence in yeasts and plants are disputed. Some biologists say the same roles are performed by lytic vacuoles,, while others suggest there is strong evidence that lysosomes are indeed in some plant cells.
