Solution

The cell organelle which has membrane-bound filled vesicles is lysosomes. They are also known as suicide bags. They contain hydrolytic enzymes which digest the foreign particles by endocytosis, phagocytosis, and autophagy. Lysosomes burst to release the hydrolytic enzymes and hence, they are known as suicide bags.
