Organelle (internal, eukaryotes only).
Contains digestive enzymes. Can be modified to change the type of enzyme it contains. Only one enzyme per lysosome can be utilized at a time. Enzymes speed up and improve efficiency of digestion.
The lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down various biomolecules. Lysosomes allow the cell to digest materials ingested through endocytosis and clean waste products of the cell in a process called autophagy.
