: Which of the following is known as the suicidal bag of the cell?
Golgi apparatus
Endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome
Vacuole
Lysosomes are regarded as cell suicide bags because they contain digesting enzymes. Organelles are lysosomes. The term "suicidal sacks of cells" was created by Christian de Duve to describe Lysosomes. If anything ruptures, the lysosomes release digesting enzymes that break down all of the cells. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
Explanation for the incorrect options :
Option 1 is incorrect because the Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, serves as a factory where proteins from the ER are further processed and sorted before being transported to their final destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
Option 2 is incorrect because the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a vast, dynamic structure in the cell that performs several functions such as calcium storage, protein synthesis, and lipid metabolism.
Option 4 is incorrect because the vacuole is the cytoplasmic membrane-bound compartment. It contains water, sap, excretory product, and other non-cellular elements. Tonoplast is a single membrane that surrounds the vacuole. Vacuoles in plant cells can take up to 90% of the cell's volume
