Question

Why are lysosomes called suicidal bag?

Answer 1

Lysosomes

1. Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign material, and cellular debris.
2. Lysosomes are capable of digesting nucleic acid, polysaccharides, fats, and proteins.
3. Along with them lysosomes also digest or damage their own cells with their own enzymes, which leads to cell death.
4. This process is called autolysis. Hence lysosomes are also called suicide bags
