Question

“Lysosomes are known as suicide bags.” Why?

✓

Answer

Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes for almost all types of organic materials. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over the cell contents and digest the same. As Lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them, they are called suicide bags.
