A lysosome (derived from the Greek words lysis, meaning to loosen, and soma, body) is a membrane-bound cell organelle found in most animal cells (they are absent in red blood cells).nzymes of the lysosomes are synthesised in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The enzymes are released from Golgi apparatus in small vesicles which ultimately fuse with acidic vesicles called endosomes, thus becoming full lysosomes.
Home > Science > Biology > The Function Of Lysosomes The Function Of Lysosomes Lysosomes are organelles inside animal cells that are fully membrane-bound; they're not present in red blood cells, though, and fungi have a similar structure called vacuoles that serves the same purpose but actually is not considered a lysosome. Asfar as cellular components go, lysosomes are a relatively new discovery. First found by Belgian biologist Christian de Duve, winner of the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, lysosomes are both structurally and chemically sphere-shapedstructures that contain acid hydrolases.
