Best Answer

lysosomes break down materials ingested by the cell using hydrolytic enzymes at a pH of around 5. They also remove old cellular components and replace with newer ones. peroxisomes are responsible for the creation of hydrogen peroxide within a cell and are used to break down fats into usable molecules, as well as catalyze detoxification reactions in the liver.

Another difference is that, unlike lysosomes, peroxisomes do not bud from the endomembrane system (golgi body and endoplasmatic reticulum), they grow by incorporating proteins and lipids made in cytosol.
