Why are lysosomes called suicide bags of the cell​

Answers (1)

 The lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes which are capable of breaking down organic matter in case of any disturbance in cellular metabolism. For example, when a cell gets damaged, then lysosomes burst and enzymes digest their own cell. Hence, the lysosomes are known as 'suicide bags' of cell.
