Question

why are lysosomes known as suicidal bags of the cell

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your 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

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Answer: lysosomes are called suicidal bags because this membrabe bound organelle helps in the destruction of target cell by intracellular digestion

Explanation:

Lysosome contain maiy hydrolytic enzymes such as acid hydrolase. lysosome destroy the target cell when it unable to function.lysosome releases the digestive enzyne it contains which dissolve the target cell a process termer as autophagy.Lysosome also helps in the digestion of the foreign bodies that enter the cell by process called heterophagy.Lysosome act as suicidal bags by dropping the cellular PH which makes the intracellular condition acidic which is not tolerated by the cell and the cell undergo destruction.
