Like the vacuoles and the Golgi Bodies, lysosomes are small round bubbles of lipid membrane. Lysosomes are single membrane organelles.
In nearly every animal like eukaryotic cell. Lysosomes after being pinched out by the Golgi Complex float in the cytoplasm until they are needed.
lysosomes are little digestion machines, they go to work when the cell absorbs or eats some food. Once the material is inside the cell, the lysosomes attach and release their enzymes. The enzymes then break down complex molecules that can include complex sugars and proteins.
if food is scarce and the cell is starving the lysosomes go to work even if there is no food for the cell. When the signal is sent out, lysosomes will actually digest the cell organelles for nutrients. The lysosomes do this to keep the cell from starving.
The way that lysosomes act as part of a factory is by providing nutrients to keep the cell alive, or the factory running. Lysosomes also break down food particles so in a factory they might be a garbage disposal.
The structure of vacuoles is a membrane that surrounds a mass of fluid. Plants may also use vacuoles to store water. Those tiny water bags “vacuoles” help to support the plant.
Vacuoles are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell's volume.
Vacuoles store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. They store waste products so the rest of the cell is protected from contamination.
In a factory Vacuoles are the cabinet they supply nutrients and good foods and the cabinets/vacuoles also protect from contamination.
