The '''lysosome''' is the [[organelle]] in [[animal]] [[cell]]s responsible for [[hydrolysis]] reactions which break down [[protein]]s, [[polysaccharide]]s, [[disaccharide]]s, and some [[lipid]]s.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L.

The '''lysosome''' is the membrane-enclosed [[organelle]] found in all [[eukaryotic cell]]s that is responsible for [[hydrolysis]], cellular digestion, of macromolecules, old cell parts, and microorganisms. Lysosomes contain a wide variety of [[enzyme]]s that break down macromolecules such as [[nucleic acid]]s, [[protein]]s, and [[polysaccharide]]s. Many of the products of lysosomal digestion, including [[amino acid]]s and [[nucleotide]]s, are recycled back to the cell for use in synthesizing new cellular components.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L.
