What are you trying to remember?

How can you remember what lysosomes do inside a cell?

The Cue

Lysosomes → Like Lysol, they clean up the cell

Why it works

Lysol is a familiar cleaning brand. Similarly, lysosomes act as the cell's cleanup and recycling centers, using enzymes to break down waste and worn-out cell parts. Lysol disinfects surfaces, while lysosomes digest cellular materials.
