Lysosome vs. Ribosome

Lysosomenoun

(cytology) An organelle found in all types of animal cells which contains a large range of digestive enzymes capable of splitting most biological macromolecules.

Lysosomenoun

an organelle found in the cytoplasm of most cells (especially in leukocytes and liver and kidney cells)

Lysosome

A lysosome () is a membrane-bound organelle found in many animal cells. They are spherical vesicles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down many kinds of biomolecules.

Ribosomenoun

A small organelle found in all cells; involved in the production of proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Ribosomenoun

an organelle in the cytoplasm of a living cell; ribosomes attach to mRNA and move down it one codon at a time and stop until tRNA brings the required amino acid; when a ribosome reaches a stop codon it falls apart and releases the completed protein molecule for use by the cell;

Ribosome

Ribosomes () are macromolecular machines, found within all living cells, that perform biological protein synthesis (mRNA translation). Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by the codons of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to form polypeptide chains.
