Question: what are the differences between early and late endosomes?
Answer: 1) Yes, pH is one of the differences between an early and late endosome, but it is not the only difference. Early endosomes have pH pumps but do not have acid hydrolases yet. Acid hydrolases are delivered to late endosomes. ... 3) Lysosomes break down organic molecules- proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids.
