Here's the breakdown:
* Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They are much simpler in structure than eukaryotic cells.
* Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. These include plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
* Organelles are specialized structures within eukaryotic cells that carry out specific functions.
Lysosomes are specifically responsible for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris within eukaryotic cells.
