The lipid bilayer surrounding the vacuole and separating its contents from the cytoplasm of the cell. Loosely bound to one surface of the lysosome membrane, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region. Loosely bound to one surface of an organelle membrane, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region. Any constituent part of a vacuole, a closed structure, found only in eukaryotic cells, that is completely surrounded by unit membrane and contains liquid material. Loosely bound to one or the other surface of the vacuolar membrane, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region. The lipid bilayer surrounding the lysosome and separating its contents from the cell cytoplasm. A small lytic vacuole that has cell cycle-independent morphology and is found in most animal cells and that contains a variety of hydrolases, most of which have their maximal activities in the pH range 5-6. The contained enzymes display latency if properly isolated. About 40 different lysosomal hydrolases are known and lysosomes have a great variety of morphologies and functions.
