 Yes, I'm familiar with lysosomes. They break down (digest)
 macromolecules into subunits which can then either be utilized, stored,
 or excreted. The hydrolytic enzymes in the lysosome break down molecules
 from foods, as well as molecules from the cell's own metabolic waste
 products (autodigestion), and also molecules from exogenous toxins,
 bacteria (which are engulfed by a white blood cell and carried to the
 lysosome in the interior of the cell by means of a portion of the cell
 wall's wrapping around the bacteria and forming a structure called a
 "vesicle"), in addition to many other products in the body.

Liza,

Just curious.  Was all that writing off the top of your head, or were you
copying word for word from NFL? ;)
