Answer:

The presence of proton pumps in the lysosome membrane that allows the organelle to maintain higher concentrations of protons.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are known as a membrane-bound cell organelle that is present in many animal cells. They are spherical type vesicles in structure. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes these enzymes help in the break down of different kinds of biomolecules.

The lysosomal membrane helps to protect the cytosol, and rest of the cells, from the degradative enzymes which are present in the lysosome. They have the ability to maintains their pH by pumping in H+ ions (protons) from the cytosol across the membrane with the help of chloride ion channels and proton pumps.

What accurately describes a difference between fungi and plants?
amm1812

Fungi are different from plants in that they are achlorophyllous.

<h3>Fungi vs plants</h3>

Fungi and plants are both eukaryotic in nature when it comes to their cells.

However, plants differ from fungi in that plants contain a green pigment known as chlorophyll while fungi do not. The green pigment enables plants to photosynthesize.

Thus, fungi are said to be achlorophyllous.
