Answer:
because it is capable of destroying its own cell in which it is present. It contains many hydrolytic enzymes which are responsible for the destruction process. This happens when either the cell is aged or gets infected by foreign agents like any bacteria or virus.

Answer:
Lysosomes are polymorphic (poly=many;morph=forms of structure) organelles having hydrolytic enzymes.
these enzymes function at acidic pH = 5.
Lysosomes are sometimes called suicidal bags of the cell as this enzyme can dissolve the complete cell also.
Lysosome may also helps in carcinogenesis
for example conversion of a normal cell into a cancerous cell....
hope this will help you
