Question

Define Lysosomes in brief.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lysosomes are specialized vesicles within cells that digest large molecules through the use of hydrolytic enzymes. ... Lysosomesare only found in animal cells; a human cell contains around 300 of them.

Answer 2

A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle found in many animal cells. They are spherical vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down many kinds of biomolecules. A lysosome has a specific composition, of both its membrane proteins, and its lumenal proteins. The lumen's pH (~4.5–5.0)is optimal for the enzymes involved in hydrolysis, analogous to the activity of the stomach. Besides degradation of polymers, the lysosome is involved in various cell processes, including secretion, plasma membrane repair, cell signaling, and energy metabolism.
