What is the function of a lysome?

Answer 1

Lysosomes are responsible for cleaning out the cell..getting rid of waste and whatnot. Here's a trick I learned when I was younger: Lysosome kind of looks like Lysol, and Lysol is a cleaning product. Lysosomes clean the cell :)

Answer 2

The function of a lysome is to break down larger food particles and other materials inside the cell into smaller parts.
