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.
Structure of Lysosomes. 1  The outer surface is formed by a single membrane, a phospholipid bilayer that can fuse with some other membrane-bound organelles. 2  Approx. spherical shape of diameter ranging up to one micrometre (1 Î¼m). 3  A single lysosome contains many enzyme molecules.
