Best Answer

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.
