At times, a cell may be infected with a virus, or there may be an organelle within the cell that is not working any longer. A cell needs to remove such waste materials to maintain its well-being. Enzymes within the cell break down these waste materials, and the broken down materials are released from the cell. Which organelles within the cell are most responsible for processing the waste and removing it from the cell?

Lysosomes.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Generally, cells have the ability to independently replicate themselves. In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles. Some examples of cell organelles found in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria includes; nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, lysosomes, etc.

Lysosomes are organelles within the cell that are most responsible for processing waste and removing it from the cell.

Basically, they are responsible for absorbing materials and breaking the materials taken in by the cells because they're typically rich in various acid hydrolases or hydrolytic enzymes such as phosphatases, lipases, nucleases, proteases, etc.
