hey mate here is the answer

Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign material and cellular debris. Lysosomes are capable of digesting nucleic acid, polysaccharides, fats, and proteins. Along with them lysosomes also digest or damage its own cells by its own enzymes, which lead to cell death. This process is called as autolysis. Hence lysosomes are also called as suicide bags

Hence it is also called as cellular scavan.

Answer:

Lysosomes are single membrane structures known as the suicidal bags of the cell

Explanation:

It contains hydrolytic enzymes which work in an acidic medium

Therefore all the waste materials for the cell like organelles that have deteriorated with time it's goes inside the Lysosomes and are digested to their most basic form

Like if a sugar molecule goes inside it'll be digested into glucose etc.

And for some reason if a Lysosomes bursts open spilling it's contents into the cytosol then the enzymes don't work as the cytosol is neutral or we might say slightly basic

But if many Lysosomes burst together their internal acid might change the pH of the cytosol making it acidic too and thus engulfing or digesting the whole cell this process is called autolysis.
