Question

How are lysosomes and vacuoles the same? How are they differentHow are lysosomes and vacuoles the same? How are they different?

Answer 1

Cell : The Unit of Life. The vacuoles and lysosomes both are endomembrane structures but differ in the functin as vacuoles perform the function of storage whereas the lysosomes carry out the function of digestion. The lysosome has hydrolytic enzymes and carries out digestion of proteins, carbohydrate and lipids

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Similarity:

Lysosomes and vacuoles are both membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells. Both are used for storage.

Differences:

• Lysosomes keep the cells clean by digesting and breaking the outside materials like bacteria, food entering the cell or worn-out cell organelles into small pieces. Whenever there is some metabolic activity, cell get damaged and lysosomes burst, enzymes present inside consume their own cell, that is why lysosomes are also called 'suicide bags'.
• Vacuoles act as storage sacs of cell and stores food, water, sugar, minerals and waste products of the cell. They are bigger in plant cells.

Explanation:

Hope you now understand the similarity and difference between a vacuole and lysosomes.
