Question

___________ are called the suicide bags of the cell

• A. Centrosomes
• B. Golgi vesicles
• C. Lysosomes
• D. Centromeres

Answer 1

The correct option is C Lysosomes

Lysosomes help in the degradation of complex organic polymers into simpler ones and this is achieved by the use of hydrolytic enzyme they contain.
If there is a mismatch between the quantity of this hydrolytic enzyme that is produced and the amount of organic ploymers that has to be destroyed , that is if the enzyme is in excess to what is required,this enzyme starts digesting the very cytoplasm of the cel itself, thereby bringing in the cell's own death.This is the reason why lysosomes are commonly termed as the suicide bags of the cell.
