Identify the function described: intracellular degradation and digestion of macromolecules using hydrolytic enzymes.
Recall that mitochondria are primarily involved in energy production through cellular respiration, not digestion.
Understand that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids, but does not contain digestive enzymes.
Recognize that peroxisomes contain enzymes for oxidation reactions, such as breaking down fatty acids, but they do not perform general intracellular digestion.
Conclude that lysosomes are the organelles containing hydrolytic enzymes that digest macromolecules and carry out intracellular degradation in animal cells.
