1. Lysosomes are organelles that are bounded by a membrane that contains digestive enzymes or hydrolytic enzymes.
2. The main function of lysosomes is to break- down the worn-out parts of the cell and thus, they are known as suicidal bags.

Formation of lysosome:

1. Lysosomes are formed by the Golgi apparatus and discharged into the cytoplasm.
2. Rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes the hydrolytic enzymes that are present in the lysosome.
