Give reasons why lysosomes are called suicidal bag of the cells.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are membrane bound cell organelles that contains digestive hydrolytic enzymes such as lipases, proteases, carbohydrases etc.

If the cell is damaged, the lysosomes undergo autolysis and burst open. This results in the release of those hydrolytic enzymes. The released enzymes then digest their own cell and ultimately the cell dies. Hence, they are called suicidal bags of the cells.

Final Answer:

Due to lysosomes’ hydrolysing abilities, it is known as suicidal bags of cells as it can digest its own cell under certain circumstances.
