Lysosomes are responsible for intracellular digestion in eukaryotic cells because they contain digestive enzymes that can break down various types of macromolecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, into their smaller subunits.

When lysosomes encounter foreign materials, damaged organelles, or other cellular waste, they fuse with these materials to form a digestive vacuole. The enzymes within the lysosome then break down the contents of the vacuole, releasing the smaller subunits that can be reused by the cell.
