Question

Differentiate between lysosomes and ribosomes

Answer 1

Lysosome and ribosome are two components found in the cells. Lysosome is only found in animal cells whereas ribosomes are found in both plant and animal cells. Lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle, containing enzymes for the lysis of either nefarious substances or weary organelles. Ribosomes decode the genes, encoded in mRNAs in order to synthesize an amino acid chain. The main difference between lysosome and ribosome is that lysosome contains the digestive enzymes in the cell whereas ribosome synthesize proteins required by the cell, from the transcribed mRNA molecules.

Hey dear...

Here is your answer...

Difference between lysosomes and ribosomes

They are pretty different components of the cell. Lysosomes for one are organelles, meaning that they have their own membranes. Hence, they are only found in eukaryotic cells. They are also responsible mainly for destruction. They can destroy worn out organelles, whole cells, and sometimes foreign invaders.

On the other hand, ribosomes are not organelles. They are one of the few components that you find in the cells of all organisms, irrespective of type. They are for converting mRNA into proteins in a process called translation.

So in a sense, you could say that they are components with opposite functions (one builds, the other destroys).

Hope it helps you!!!
