Lysosomes are found in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes do not possess any membrane-bound organelles, including lysosomes. (They also lack a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and any other membrane-bound vesicles.)

Lysosomes are found in eukaryotic cells. They are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes that break down cellular waste and debris. Prokaryotic cells do not possess lysosomes.
Yes, protists have lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris in the cell. Protists use lysosomes for intracellular digestion and waste removal, like other eukaryotic organisms.

The two major types of cells are prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells are found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists, while prokaryotic cells are found in bacteria and archaea.
Prokaryotic cells only have ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and sometimes a cell wall. Eukaryotic cells have additional organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Plant cells have chloroplasts, central vacuoles, and a cell wall in addition to the organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Animal cells have lysosomes and centrioles in addition to the organelles found in eukaryotic cells.
