Lysosomes

Lysosomes are organelles that contain hydrolytic enzymes and are surrounded by a single unit membrane. The contents of a lysosome can appear highly heterogeneous depending on the type of material being degraded. Lysosomes form by the fusion of Golgi-derived vesicles containing acid hydrolase enzymes (pre-lysosomes) with either internalized materials or autophagosomes. 30,000x
