no it dosent a vacuole stores food while a lysosome digests food
The lysosome is the organelle that breaks down molecules.
Lysosome
The lysosome performs similar functions to the vacuole. Both organelles serve as storage compartments, containing and breaking down molecules such as waste products or nutrients. They help maintain cellular homeostasis and play a role in maintaining cell structure and function.
Once the solid material is phagocytized and taken into a vacuole, the vacuole fuses with a lysosome containing digestive enzymes. These enzymes then break down the solid material into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the cell. Any indigestible material is then expelled from the cell.
The Vacuole is responsible for storing waste
A lysosome can fuse with various cellular components, such as endosomes, phagosomes, or autophagosomes, to either degrade their contents or to transfer materials for recycling. This fusion process allows lysosomes to participate in essential cellular functions, such as waste disposal, nutrient recycling, and pathogen destruction.
The lysosome is the organelle that breaks down molecules.
A lysosome combines with the vacuole and digests the enclosed solid material.

plant cells do not have lysosomes but they do have a central vacuole that does a similar function of breaking down materials with enzymes
The Vacuole is responsible for storing waste
Chloroplasts, cell wall (not cell membrane), and they contain a vacuole except that they don't contain a large central vacuole that only plants have.
plants have a vacuole which they use to store water in.
Similarities: Cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosome, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuole, cytoplasm Differences: Cell wall (plant), lysosome (animal), chloroplast (plant)
