Lysosomes:
1. Lysosomes are considered as dismantling and restructuring units of a cell.
2. These are membrane bound vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes. The enzymes in lysosomes are used by most eukaryotic cells to digest (hydrolyse) macromolecules.
3. The lysosomal enzymes show optimal activity in acidic pH.
4. Lysosomes arise from Golgi associated endoplasmic reticulum.
5. Lysosomes are polymorphic in nature and are classified as primary lysosomes, secondary or hybrid lysosomes, residual body and autophagic vesicle.
6. The list of lysosomal enzymes includes: All types of hydrolases viz, amylases, proteases and lipases.
