Question

24. Lysosome is called 'Suicidal Bag' because it
(a) Contains hydrolytic enzymes
(6) Has parasitic activity
(c) Contains food vacuole
(d) Can digest parts of its own cell ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lysosomes are sphere-shaped sacs filled with hydrolytic enzymes that have the capability to break down many types of biomolecules. Lysosomes are known as suicide bags of the cell because they contain lytic enzymes capable of digesting cells and unwanted materials

Answer 2

Answer:

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles which are capable of breaking down biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.

They contain acid hydrolases or digestive enzymes that digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, engulfed viruses or bacteria and macromolecules.

They can also digest or damage its own cell causing the cell death (autolysis) therefore, they are also known as suicidal bags.

So, the correct answer is 'Hydrolytic enzymes'.
