Lysosomes:

In the mid-twentieth century, the Belgian scientist Christian Rene de Duve discovered lysosomes.

Formation of lysosomes:

These are single-membrane-bound organelles. Lysosomes contain strong digestive enzymes and work for the breakdown (digestion) of food and waste materials within the cell.

The function of lysosomes:

During its function, the lysosome fuses with the vacuole that contains the targeted material, and its enzymes break down the material.
