Lysosomesare membrane-bound vesicular structures holding a variety of enzymessuch as lipases, proteases, and carbohydrases. The purpose oflysosomes is to digest worn out cells. They are involved in theintracellular digestion of foreign food particles and microbes.Sometimes, they also act as suicidal bags. They are involved in theself digestion of cells. They are a kind of waste disposal systems ofa cell. On the other hand, vacuoles are storage sacs found in cells.They might store the waste products of cells. In unicellularorganisms, the food vacuole contains the consumed food particles. Italso plays a role in expelling excess water and some wastes from thecell.
