Lysosomes are known as suicide bags of the cell. Give reason. |

Answer» 1. Lysosomes which bring about digestion of cell’s own organic material like a damaged cell organelle are called autophagic vesicle (suicide bags). 2. An autophagic vesicle essentially consists of lysosome fused with membrane-bound old cell organelle or organic molecules to be recycled. 3. Thus, lysosomes are capable of destructing all kinds of material in the cell. Therefore, can digest its own cell organelles due to presence of lysosome. Hence, lysosomes are also called as suicide bags. because they contain lytic enzymes capable of digesting cells and unwanted materials. autolysis and burst open when the cell is damaged. This causes the hydrolytic enzymes to be released. The released enzymes then digest their own cell, causing the cell to die. As a result, they’re known as cell suicide bags |
