Question

Lysosomes are known as suicidal bags of the cell? Why?

Answer 1

Lysosomes are organelles present inside the cell. They contain digestive hydrolytic enzymes that break down components of the cell such as cellular debris and foreign material. They also digest the cells in which they are present (autolysis) by their own enzymes. This results in cell death. Hence lysosomes are called as suicide bags of the cell.
