No, lysosomes don't have their own DNA. They are membrane sacs containing enzymes, acids, etc. If you are looking for an organelle which does have its own DNA, you might want to look at Mitochondria and Chloroplasts.

∙ 9y agoLysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that function as the digestive system of the cell. They do not contain their own RNA, but they can hydrolyze proteins, DNA, RNA, polysaccharides and lipids.

Are lysosomes in skin cells?
Yes, Lysosomes are in all animal cells. Lysosomes remove any waste and bacteria in a cell. This organelle also recycles worn out cell parts.
1. In which type of cells would you expect there to be an abundance of lysosomes?
White blood cells contain the most lysosomes in the entire body. White blood cells need the extra lysosomes for the bacteria that they ingest.
The organelles that enable white blood cells to ingest and destroy bacteria are?
Lysosomes (this is for a biology final?)
Which cell organelle is responsible for the digestion of the bacteria?
I believe the answer you are looking for is lysosomes. Lysosomes are common in animal cells, but not so much in plants, and they contain hydrolytic enzymes that aid in intracellular digestion. Basically, when white blood cells eat bacteria, lysomes are released onto the bacteria, which kills them (and breaks them down.) The process is called necrotic cell death.
What is the role of lysosomes in the cell and why is it a vital role?
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that enclose hydrolytic enzymes. They basically allow cells to break-down material (such as nutrients in regular cells, or phagocytosed pathogens in immune cells.)
Do bacteria cells have lysomes?
Bacteria cells do not have lysosomes. These are sometimes called the "stomach" of the cell.
Are use by white blood cells to digest and destroy bacteria?
I think Lysosomes.
A structure that digests worn out cells and bacteria is called?
Lysosomes

Yes, Lysosomes are in all animal cells. Lysosomes remove any waste and bacteria in a cell. This organelle also recycles worn out cell parts.
1. In which type of cells would you expect there to be an abundance of lysosomes?
White blood cells contain the most lysosomes in the entire body. White blood cells need the extra lysosomes for the bacteria that they ingest.
Are lysosomes only found in bacterial cells?
No bacteria do not have lysosomes.They are in eukaryotes.
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?
lysosomes
What happens to white blood cells if lysosomes rupture?
The main functions of the lysosomes is to get rid of the bacteria and virus and to digest the food particles. If the lysosomes rupture the count of thaw white blood cells will reduce because some will be consumed by the deadly viruses and bacteria.
Why would stomach and intestine cells have more lysosomes than other cells in the body?
Lysosomes main function is to kill bacteria. Stomach cells line the interior of your stomach so the lysosomes are needed to kill any bacteria or foreign substance that attaches itself to your stomach. The same idea applies to your intestine.
What organelles enable white blood cells to digest and destroy bacteria are?
lysosomes
Where are lysosomes found in a plant cell?
== == It varies from cell to cell. For example, if a cell is specifically made for fighting diseases and controlling bacteria in the body, then it would contain more lysosomes to help rid the body of bacteria.
What cellular organelles helps White Blood Cells breakdown the bacteria and viruses?
lysosomes
