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, lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris. They do not have the machinery for protein synthesis. Protein synthesis occurs mainly in the ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus of a cell.

What is the difference between a bacterial rIbosome and a eukaryotic ribosome?

Bacterial ribosomes are smaller (70S) compared to eukaryotic ribosomes (80S). Additionally, bacterial ribosomes have fewer proteins and do not have as many modification sites as eukaryotic ribosomes. The antibiotic targeting sites also differ between bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomes.

What is the difference between an organelle and an organism?

An organ is a collection of cells that perform a function (liver, skin, muscles) whereas an organelle is something INSIDE a cell which performs a function for the cell (ribosome, mitochondria)
