Detailed explanation-1: -A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes are specialized for the intracellular digestion of macromolecules. They contain unique membrane proteins and a wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes that operate best at pH 5, which is the internal pH of lysosomes. This low pH is maintained by an ATP-driven H+ pump in the lysosomal membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes or suicidal bags are filled with about 40 types of acid hydrolases (digestive enzymes) like acid proteases, acid nucleases, acid phosphates, acid sulphatases, acid lipases, acid glycosidases working at an optimum pH ≤5 for controlling intracellular digestion of macromolecules .
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
