Best Answer

vacuoles basically have the same functions as vesicles therefore, in plant cells, when lysosomes are fused with the vacuole, the contents within the vacuole are digested by lysosomes' hydrolytic enzymes into the simpler subunits. Remember that vacuoles not only store H2O, sugar and salt, but also pigments and toxic molecules. The digested contents are now simpler molecules that are released into the cytoplasm. Also, normal rejuvination occurs when parts of a cell are digested within its own lysosomes (autodigestion).

Lysosomes are small single membrane bound vesicular organelles containing hydrolytic enzymes.

A hydrolytic enzyme is capable of breaking down an organic compound into two or more parts by combing hydrogen of water molecule with one part of the compound & hydroxyl group of water molecule to the other part of the compound

Golgi bodies and lysosomes work together to create digestive enzymes which are used for metabolic processes. Lysosomes are produced when hydrolytic enzymes are added to endosomes which are found in the Golgi bodies.

What would happen if mitochondria had a structure like lysosomes?

The two have different functions. Mitochondria makes energy for the cell to function while lysosomes brake down unwanted materials. It is said that mitochondria are the power houses and lysosomes are the waste disposal system. They would maybe able to work with one inside the other. The lysosomes providing useful items to the mitochondria, but it didn't work out that way.
