Answer: As we know that the digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses as well as bacteria. The membrane surrounding a lysosome prevents the digestive enzymes inside from destroying the cell. So, lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents.

The lysosome fuses with any food particle that comes along its way, it does not cause any rupture but it just absorbs the material into it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lysosomes are the key organelles involved in digestion and waste removal of the cell , they contain various enzymes such as the hydrolases, lipases and the proteases in order to recycle or digest any material that comes in contact with it.

This does not cause the cell to burst. It helps in many vital processes such as food digestion, balancing the immunity of the cell.
