    • Lysosomes are single-walled membranous sacs responsible in digestion of nutrients, bacteria and damaged organelles.
    • Lysosomes are also used to destroy certain cells in the process known as apoptosis or programmed cell death during embryonic development.
    • Peroxisome is an enzyme-filled vesicle that contains oxidative enzymes which break down fatty acids into energy.
    • Peroxisomes are spherical membranous vesicles that contain enzymes which detoxify harmful molecules. The enzymes produced are involved in the oxidative deamination of amino acids and break down of hydrogen peroxide.
    • Vacuoles are membranous sacs that store and release various substances within the cytoplasm.
    • Vacuole is also responsible for the cell’s enlargement and water balance.
