Lysosomes are the organelles of mammalian cells that are rich in hydrolytic enzymes.

Lysosomes contain enzymes like proteases, lipases, nucleases, and glycosidases, which work optimally in an acidic environment (pH ~4.5-5.0).

These enzymes are responsible for breaking down waste materials, cellular debris, excess organelles, and ingested pathogens through processes like phagocytosis and autophagy. Mitochondria are involved in energy production, ribosomes in protein synthesis, and the nucleus contains genetic material.
