In animal cells, the lipid-like steroid hormone is synthesized by the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Glyoxysome causes the breakdown of stored fats during seed germination by the glyoxylate cycle. Spherosomes are present in the plant cells which are involved in synthesis and storage of lipids. Lysosomes are suicidal bags which degrade the macromolecules by pocessing the lytic enzymes.
