lysosome
the lysosome destroys the virus!
virus

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Lysosomes are known as the "digestive system" of the cell, containing hydrolytic enzymes that break down invaders (like viruses) and other materials. This matches their function.
• Option B: Transporting substances out of the cell is the role of structures like the cell membrane (exocytosis) or vacuoles in some cases, not lysosomes.
• Option C: Lysosomes don't "steal energy"; they digest materials to recycle components, not to take energy from invaders.
• Option D: Lysosomes don't produce toxins; they use enzymes to digest, not poison, materials.

So the correct answer is A as it accurately describes the function of lysosomes.

Answer:

A. Lysosomes digest invaders and other materials with enzymes.
