Question

LYSOSOMES ARE KNOWN AS THE SUICIDAL BAG OF A CELL. GIVE A REASON TO JUSTIFY THE STATEMENT

Answer 1

Lysosome are known as suicidal bags of a cell because Lysosome contains about 40 hydrolytic enzymes, when the cells get damaged, Lysosomes burst and their enzymes digest their own cell. So, Lysosomes are called 'suicide bags'.

Answer 2

LYSOSOMES ARE KNOWN AS THE SUICIDAL BAG OF A CELL. GIVE A REASON TO JUSTIFY THE STATEMENT.

• If the cell is damaged, the lysosomes undergo autolysis and burst open.
• This results in the release of those hydrolytic enzymes.
• The released enzymes then digest their own cell and ultimately the cell dies.

Hence, they are called as suicidal bags of the cells.
