hey dear
here is your answer
1) chloroplast are commonly known as kitchen of the cell because in autotrophic plant photosynthesis takes place in chloroplast i.e. plant prepare their own food in chloroplast.
2) Lysosomesare cellular organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign material and cellular debris. Lysosomes are capable of digesting nucleic acid, polysaccharides, fats, and proteins. Along with them lysosomes also digest or damage its own cells by its own enzymes, which lead to cell death. This process is called as autolysis. Hence lysosomes are also called as suicide bags.
3) mitochondria is known as power house of the cell because energy us stored in mitochondria in the form of ATP.mitochondria contain iuts own DNA that's why also known as semi autonomous organelle.
hope it helps :)
