Explain why a eukaryotic cell needs membrane-enclosed lysosomes and peroxisomes

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The structures both contain high concentrations of enzymes that serve as a localized region to perform specific reactions. Enclosed membranes provide a barrier to maintain conditions within the lysosomes and peroxisomes that are unlike those in the cytoplasm, which is important because environmental conditions for these processes to be optimal are often different than the conditions in the cytoplasm.
