\nLysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing a variety of hydrolytic enzymes (like proteases, lipases, nucleases, glycosidases) that are active at acidic pH. Their main function is the intracellular digestion of macromolecules, worn-out organelles, and pathogens. Thus, they serve as the principal storehouse of digestive enzymes within the cell.
\n<\/section>\n
\nLysosomes are responsible for cellular digestion and waste breakdown.
\n<\/section>\n
\nRibosomes are involved in protein synthesis. Desmosomes are structures that provide strong adhesion between cells. Vacuoles in animal cells are small and involved in storage or transport, while in plant cells they are large and maintain turgor pressure and store water, nutrients, and waste; they can also contain some digestive enzymes in plant cells, but lysosomes are the primary organelle for this function in many eukaryotic cells.
