Differentiate between lysosome and vacuole.
Lysosome- Lysosome is a cell organelle that contains enzyme that kills foreign organism.
Vacuole- It is a membrane bound organelle that contains fluid, pigments etc.
Lysosome | Vacuole |
1.Lysosome contain hydolytic enzymes. | 1.Vacuole contain fluids, excretory substances and pigments etc. |
2.It is derived from golgi. | 2.It is not derived from golgi. |
3.If it bursts the cell might die due to hydrolytic enzymes. | 3.If it is burst ,it will not kill the cell. |
4. There can be many lysosomes within a cell. | 4. There exists one large vacuole and maybe one or two small ones. |
5. Lysosomes are only associated with digestion. | 5. Vacuoles have multiple functions. |
