Lysosome defend the cell by killing or digesting foreign material or antigens entering the cell. They digest food in the cell with the help of their hydrolytic enzymes. They also eat up worn out or dead organelles in the cell, thus cleaning it.

Lysosomes are the suicidal bags of the cell. It removes all the waste material and foreign organisms,digest it by the lytic enzymes present in side it. It removes all the waste by exocytosis.
