Heya friend,
Lysosomes are waste disposal of cell. They help to clean the cell by digesting worn out. and foreign materials such as bacteria,etc.
They are able to do so because they have digestive enzymes in them which are capable of breaking down the organic material.
Whenever there is a disturbance in cellular metabolism, ie- when the cell gets damaged and lysosomes burst during this process so the enzymes digest their own cell.
Therefore lysosomes are known as suicidal bags of cement.
And the enzymes (digestive enzymes) are made of RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum).
Hope it helps..!!!

The lysosomes may be called "suicidal bags" of cell in view of their autolytic role, or "disposal units" of the cell because they digest the incoming food materials and remove the foreign bodies, toxic molecules and debris; or "recycling centres" as they break down worn out cells and cell organelles to component molecules for building new organelles and cells.
