Vesicle that contains hydrolytic digestive enzymes for the breakdown of substances in a cell

The vesicle that contains hydrolytic digestive enzymes for the breakdown of substances in a cell is known as a lysosome.

Here are the steps of how a lysosome works:

1. The cell takes in food particles through a process called endocytosis, forming a vesicle.

2. This vesicle, known as an endosome, moves through the cell and fuses with a lysosome.

3. The hydrolytic enzymes within the lysosome break down the substances in the endosome. This can include complex molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides.

4. The broken-down substances, now simple molecules, are released back into the cell to be reused.

5. The lysosome, having fulfilled its role, either recycles its components to be used again or disintegrates.
