Answer:

Lysosomes are called suicide bags of the cell... If the cell is damaged, the lysosomes undergo autolysis and burst open. This results in the replace of those hydrolytic enzymes the released enzymes then digest their own cell and ultimately the cell dies. Hence, they are called as suicide bags of the cell.
