Solution

Lysosomes:

  1. Lysosomes are sac-like structures surrounded by a single membrane and are only present in animal cells.
  2. The membrane-bound bag contains powerful digestive (hydrolytic) enzymes capable of either digesting or breaking down all organic material.
  3. Thus, they are also known as suicide bags of the cell.
