Why lysosome are called suicidal bag? |
|
Answer» Lysosomes can be termed as waste disposal system of the cell. For almost all type of organic materials they contain digestive enzymes. For example, when cell gets damaged, lysosome may burst and the enzymes digest their own cell. Therefore lysosomes are known as the Suicidal bags of a cell or we can say that they posses different kind of hydrolases on release of these enzymes that cause death of cell. Lysosome itself burst to destroy an unwanted (damaged or teared) cell. So it is called as suicidal bag. |
