The Lysosomes, Centrioles, Peroxisomes, and Desmosomes
Lysosomes
Lysosomes are found in the cytoplasm of both plant and animal cells. It is a sac-like structure surrounded by a single membrane that holds very powerful digestive enzymes. Its function is to break down dying cells, organelles, toxins, and food particles.
Centrioles
The centriole is found in the cytoplasm of only animal cells. Its structure is made of microtubules. Its function is to help cells through cell devision.
Gap Juntions
It is located between two animal cells. It is made of structural proteins that connect the cytoplasms of two different cells Its function is to connect the cytoplasm of two cells to allow various molecules and ions to pass freely from either cell.
Peroxisomes
They are small organelles found in the cytoplasm of both animal and plant cells. The structure of peroxomes is a membrane bound organelle. They participate in the metabolism of fatty asids and have enzymes that get rid of toxic peroxides.
