ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are vesicles that contain digestive enzymes. They are only present in animal cells. They function as part of the cell’s recycling system and can also help initiate cell death.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes are small vesicles derived from the Golgi apparatus; they contain up to 40 acidic enzymes (hydrolases) at a pH 5. The membrane prevents the aggressive enzymes from destroying cellular structures.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enzymes of the lysosomes are synthesised in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The enzymes are imported from the Golgi apparatus in small vesicles, which fuse with larger acidic vesicles.
