Question

Why are lysosomes called suicidal bag of cell

Answer 1

Lysosomes are called suicidal bags of the cells. They contain hydrolytic enzymes. 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lysosomes are organelles present inside the cell. They contain digestive Hydrolytic enzymes that break down components of the cell such as cellular debris and foreign material. They also digest or damage the cells in which they are present (autolysis) by their own enzymes. This results in cell death. so lysosomes are called as suicide bags of the cell.
