Lysosomes are membrane bound vesicular structures formed by the process of packaging in Golgi apparatus. The isolated lysosomal vesicles have been found to be very rich in almost all types of hydrolytic enzymes like lipases, proteases, carbohydrates etc. These enzymes are capable of digesting carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. 

Vacuoles are membrane bound space found in cytoplasm. It contains water, sap, excretory product and other unuseful products of cell. It is bound by a membrane called tonoplast which facilitates the transport of number of ions and other materials against concentration gradient into the vacuole.
