The interior of a lysosome is strongly acidic, and its enzymes are active at an acid pH. Lysosomes are found in all eukaryotic cells, but are most numerous in disease-fighting cells, such as leukocytes(white blood cells).

Lysomes are membrane bound organelles, thought to be formed by Golgi bodies, which are loaded with strong hydrolitic enzymes to carry out intracellular digestion. When a lysome is formed, it is able to fuse with ... Lysomes carry out fuctions in both plant and animal cells. They also serve as part of the bodies defence system.
