The vacuoles are responsible largely for storing water and other organic and inorganic molecules. They are significantly larger in plant cells.

Lysosomes break down essentially all useless material in the cell, including dead organelles, unused proteins, etc.

The cytoskeleton, composed of microtubules and microfilaments, give structure to the cell.

Why don't plants have lysosomes?

Plants do not have lysosomes because they have vacuoles that serve similar functions. Vacuoles in plant cells help with digestion, waste removal, and storage of nutrients, which are roles typically performed by lysosomes in animal cells. Plants have evolved alternative structures to perform these functions effectively without the need for lysosomes.


What are two storage organelle?

Vacuoles and lysosomes


Is a lysosome found in plant or animal cells?

Lysosomes are found in animal cells. Plant cells have similar organelles called lytic vacuoles that carry out similar functions to lysosomes.


Which organelle merges with food vacuoles?

Lysosomes merge with food vacuoles to break down the ingested material through the action of hydrolytic enzymes.


Do animals contain central vacuoles?

As far as I know, they don't. some animal cells do have vacuoles, but they are not as big as those in plant cells. also, an animal cell can have many small vacuoles. some animal cells do not have vacuoles, because the functions that vacuoles carry out in a plant cell are performed by the lysosomes of the animal cell.


Does a lemon have lysosomes and small vacuoles?

Yes. Except like all plants the vacuoles are large.


What happens when a lysosome fuses with a vacuole?

Vacuoles store things, so it would make sense that food vacuoles store food. Lysosomes digest things into smaller usable materials (or destroy them) so lysosomes will attach to food vacuoles so they can efficiently digest food. The vacuole to store the food waiting to be digested by the lysosome.


Are mitochondria lysosomes and vacuoles organs?

They are not organs.They are cell organells.


Why might lysosomes fuse with or link up with a food vacuole?

Vacuoles store things, so it would make sense that food vacuoles store food. Lysosomes digest things into smaller usable materials (or destroy them) so lysosomes will attach to food vacuoles so they can efficiently digest food. The vacuole to store the food waiting to be digested by the lysosome.


How does a lysosome help certain types of vacuoles?

Lysosomes and vacuoles are pretty much the same organelle with certain specializations in plants and animals. Lysosomes were discovered by Belgian cytologist Christian De Duve. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and empty their contents into them for digestion of cellular content and also to break up waste material and cellular debris.
