Lysosomes are rich in hydrolytic enzymes that can lyse ecery biomolecules including proteins. lysosomes are membrane bound organelles that has proteins in it. they are involved in cellular process such as phagocytosis, autophagy, clearing cellular debris, cell death etc.

yes, humans and animals have lysosomes, along with plant cells. But in the case of lysosomes in plants, the vacuoles take the lysosomes place. The lysosomes are the digestive system in a cell and they energize the cell by digesting proteins. :)


Are lysosomes responsible for folding proteins in the cell?

No! Lysosomes hydrolyze cellular material ( digest it ). The actual folding of proteins is done by a class of proteins called chaperons. Two types: chaperons and chaparonins. Also proteins fold naturally by the arrangement of the R groups on the constituent amino acids.
