Answer 2

Hey !!

• Lysosomes were discovered by ''Christian de Duve'' in 1955.
• These are commonly called suicidal bags of the cell.
• A lysosome is a single-membraned, spherical, tiny sac-like body.
• It is most common in eukaryotic cells, but abundantly found in animal cells exhibiting phagocytic activity.
• These are reservoirs of hydrolytic enzymes (about 40). These enzymes can hydrolyse different substances such as proteins , nucleic  acids, etc.
• These help in the digestion of material taken in by endocytosis (internalisation of substances)

Good luck !!
