  • Single Membrane Organelles: Understanding Lysosomes and More
    The organelle with only a single membrane around it is the lysosome.

    Here's why:

    * Lysosomes are responsible for breaking down waste products and cellular debris. They have a single membrane that encloses a variety of hydrolytic enzymes.

    * Mitochondria and chloroplasts have double membranes.

    * Nuclei have a double membrane called the nuclear envelope.
