Q

function of lysosomes

A

contains digestive enzymes called lysozymes, kept away from cytoplasm surrounded by a membrane. can be used to digest invading cells or break down worn out components of the cell

Q

function of the cell vacuole

A

helps to maintain pressure inside the cell and keep the cell rigid. This stops plants from wilting. Also involves isolating unwanted chemicals inside the cell
