best_answer

When the cells are damaged to such an extent that they are incapable of performing certain functions which are essential for survival, the organism tries to get rid of these cells. For this function, the lysosomes which are membrane-bound organelles burst and release digestive enzymes called lysozymes which destroy the cell and lysozomes are therefore called suicide bags.
