The organelles primarily involved in the digestion of engulfed material are lysosomes and phagosomes. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down macromolecules, while phagosomes are formed when cells engulf material, eventually fusing with lysosomes to facilitate digestion. Together, these organelles ensure that cellular debris and pathogens are effectively degraded and recycled.
