Lysosomes are organelles that contain about 40 different types of degradative hydrolytic enzymes including phosphatases, lipases, nucleases, glycosidases, proteases, phospholipases, and sulfatases.
Lysosomes fuse with endosomes allowing degradative lysosomal enzymes to assist in the digestion of materials inside the endosome.
3 types of lysosomes: endolysosome, phagolysosome, and autophagolysosome.
Endosomes:
Endosomes are vesicles that enclose solid extracellular materials and pathogens internalized during endocytosis.
In addition to the internalized material, endosomes also contain nutrients.
Endosomes store internalized materials until they are completely digested.
Their primary function involves internal sorting.
3 types: early endosome, late endosome, and recycling endosome.
