Question

why are lysosomes called suicide bags​

Answer 1

Lysosomes are called suicidal bags because they engulf everything that is useful as well as harmful. And if they burst the whole cell will burst.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Lysosomes are called the suicide bags because they destroy worn out or damaged cells through self-destruction of cells through various pathways like apoptosis, programmed or autophagic cell death, or necrosis process.
• By destructing the old, worn out, or injured cells, lysosomes give space to new cells.
• Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelle of a cell with digestive enzymes.
• These enzymes can break down or hydrolyze complex polymers like proteins, nucleic acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates etc.
• Lysosomes can destroy cells of invading pathogens like bacteria or virus.
