Question

Why is it important that the inside of a lysosome have a lower pH than the surrounding cytoplasm in the cell?

Answer 1

The digestive enzymes in thelysosome work best at a lower pH. ... The substances stored in alysosome are most stable at alower pH. The waste products stored in the lysosome require alower pH

Answer 2

Answer:  

The lysosome has a lower pH than the cytoplasm because, the low pH of the lysosome aids in the destruction of the waste material.  

Explanation:  

The lysosome is an organelle which is called as the suicide bag of the cell, this is because when the cell has to degrade, the lysosome bursts and thereby the acidic pH in the lysosome digests the entire cell and cause it to destruct.
