Answer:

Lysosomes are specialized vesicle found in Eukaryotic cells and vacuole are found in protozoans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lysosomes are specialised vesicles within the eukaryotic cells that break down large molecules through the use of hydrolytic enzymes into smaller piece.

Vesicles are small sphere of fluid that is surrounded by a bilayer lipid membrane use to transport molecules within the cell.
