Question

Why are lysosomes known as 'suicidal bags' ?​

Answer 1

Lysosomes are a kind of waste disposal system which occurs in animal cells. When cells get damaged, lysosomes burst and destroy their own cells.

Hence, lysosomes are called as the suicidal bags of a cell.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes for almost all types of organic materials. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will still over the cell contents and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them, they are called suicide bags.
