Lysosomes and
Peroxisomes
LysosomesLysosomes are roughly spherical bodies bounded by a single membrane. They are manufactured by the
Golgi apparatus (pathway 2 in the figure).

macromolecules are delivered to a proteolytic
environment by 'kiss-and-run' events or direct fusion between late endosomes and
lysosomes.

vesicles containing hydrolytic (digestive)
enzymes produced by the Golgi complex.
Full article >>>Lysosomes (membrane-bound digestive
vesicles) can digest
macromolecules (break them down to small
compounds) that were taken in from the outside of the
cell by an endocytic
vesicle.
Full article >>>lysosomes Membrane-enclosed
organelles containing digestive
enzymes. The
lysosomes fuse with food
vacuoles and
enzymes contained within the
lysosome chemically breakdown and/or digest the food
vacuole's contents.

Peroxisomes (the cellular digestive system)
Lysosomes and
peroxisomes are often referred to as the garbage disposal system of a
