Lysosomes are bags containing hydrolytic enzymes. These enzymes can break the living cell. Hence, lysosmes are called the Suicidal Bag of cells.

∙ 9y agoLysosome contain digestive enzymes for almost all type of organic material. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over cell content and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them ,they are called suicide bags.

What are 'suicide bags' that recycle cellular material?
Lysosomes are called the suicide bags of the cells. they contain digestive enzymes, and break down food, cellular debris and foreign invaders like bacteria. in the event that the cell is injured beyond repair, or becomes old, the lysosome digests the cell, hence the name 'suicide bag of the cell'.
Why lysosomes called suicidal bag?
because it can burst itself and distroy the cell if the cell gets damaged.
Which organelle would you associate with elimination of old worn out cell?
The elimination of old and worn out cells is done by a cell organelle called lysosomes. It is also called the waste disposal system of a cell.This lysosomes has powerful digestive enzymes that break down all organic organelles.When a cell is about to be destroyed, this lysosomes burst and the digestive enzymes will spread everywhere in the cells. So, the cell becomes completely destroyed. So, the lysosomes are also called the suicidal bags of a cell.
How can defective lysosomes result in excess accumulation of a particular compound in cell?
Lysosomes are also known as suicide bags of cell because during certain conditions enzymes in lysosomes will kill the cell. If this doesn 't happen there will be more.
What is the function of lysosome in animal cell?
Lysosomes contain enzymes for compound breakdown. Often lysosomes fuse with phagosomes(contain substances from outside of the cell) in order to digest material. Lysosomes contain enzymes like proteases, phospholipases, etc... Lysosomes also have H+ ion pumps in the membrane in order to decreases the pH which denatures molecules and activates the enzymes. Lysosomes are also important in cell activated suicide. When the cell receives a signal for autolysis a signal is sent to the lysosomes which release its contents into the cytoplas, and result in cell death. Hope that helps. -Yes, it did. Thx!(:
What role might lysozymes play in apoptosis?
lysosomes are also known as suicidal bags. They involve in autolysis of the cell as the was damaged. It is an excretory related thing. lysosomes are also known as suicidal bags.

What is the significance of lysosomes?
They serve as a suicidal bags in the cell. they eat/kill the foreign anti-bodies who enters the cell.

Is it proper to call lysosome as the suicidal bags of the cell?
Definately definately NOT.
How do lysosomes work as digestive bags and suicidal bags?
A lysosome has a digestive enzyme inside of it; this enzyme can be used for breaking down food, but it could also be used to destroy worn down organelles. If there is a problem with the cell itself, the lysosome could simply burst, and the digestive enzymes would "eat" away at the cell.
Why are lysosomes referred to as suicide bags?
they have a very low pH in relation to the cell. So if the cell is infected an antibody can "pop" the lysosomes to kill the virus in the cell but it also kills the host cell.
