Lysosome are organelles which originate from the Golgi apparatus. They are only found in animal cells and are about one micrometer wide. They are basically "acidic bags" that contain digestive enzymes and are used to degrade anything that's put in them. They typically fuse with other kind of organelles to degrade whatever is inside (phagosomes, endosomes, organelles that need recycling, etc).

Ribosomes on the other hand are much smaller units, about 20-30 nm wide (that's a ~100 times smaller), found in all living organisms (eukaryota, eubacteria and archea). They are complex macro-assemblies of proteins and ribosomal-RNA (rRNA) that perform the task of 'Traduction', which is to synthetise proteins from messenger-RNA (mRNA). There are thousands of them at any given time in each cell.

Does lysosome have small organelles that make protein?

No the lysosome is an organelle inside a cell. The organelle which makes proteins is the ribosome which is separate to the lysosome.

Discuss the difference between a membranous organelle and a nonmembranous organelle?

Membranous: endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosome, mitochondrion, plasma membrane, nucleus. Nonmembranous: centriole, nucleolus, ribosome. The difference between these two: Membranous has a definite boundary created by a membrane whereas a nonmembranous is an organelle without a specific boundary.

Is there more than one lysosome in a cell?

yes!!! of course! there isn't just one lysosome and one ribosome and one mitochondria in a cell. well there could be, but it would be a weak, dying cell.

Difference between prokaryotic ribosome and eukaryotic ribosome?

in prokaryotic cell ribosome is partly synthesised from nucleoid and partly from pre-exsisting ribosomes. in eukaryotic cell ribosomes are partly synthesised from nucleorar organiser region and partly from pre-exsisting ribosomes.


What is the difference between centrosome and ribosome?

Ribosomes are necessary for protein synthesis and centrosomes are used in cell division. Plants do not have centrosomes.

Do humans have a cytoplasm?

yes.human has cytoplasm.since cytoplasm is the organelle that supends all other organelles in the cell, like mitochondria,ribosome,lysosome.
