Question

why are lysosomes known as suicidal bag of the cell

Answer 1

lysosomes contain some digestive enzymes which are helpful in digesting so whenever any outside material called as phagosome enters a cell then the lysosomes just prepared from Golgi body known as primary lysosome attaches to it and makes secondary lysosomes and then after sometime it digest it and forms residual the body then it is prepared for digesting anything and if the cell damages than the lysosome will digest it's own cell therefore it is known as suicidal bag

Answer 2

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
