Functions Lysosomes?  Digestion Endocytosis Removal Recycle Small Molecules

Lysosomes are involved in digestion (via endocytosis), the removal and recycling of cellular components (autophagy), and self-destruction (autolysis) after cell death.

1. **Digestion** (endocytosis) 2. **Removal**  - recycle small molecules for resynthesis (autophagy)  3. **Self-destruction**: digests remains (autolysis) after cellular death
