The genome is the complete set of genes of an organism.

The transcriptome is the complete set of genes expressed under particular conditions.

The proteome is the complete set of polypeptides encoded by the whole genome or produced in any particular cell or tissue

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Lysosomes contain about 40 types of hydrolytic enzymes, All are acid hydrolases, work best at acidic pH including: proteases, nucleases, glycosidases, lipases, phospholipases, phosphatases, and sulfatases.
