Question
Which among the following is known as “suicide bags?”
- Mitochondria
- Ribosomes
- Lysosomes
- Endoplasmic Reticulum
Hint:
Lysosomes are capable of digesting nucleic acid, polysaccharides, fats, and proteins. Along with them lysosomes also digest or damage their own cells with their own enzymes, which leads to cell death. This process is called autolysis. Hence lysosomes are also called suicide bags.
The correct answer is: Lysosomes
- Lysosomes are called "suicide bags" of the cell because they have hydrolytic enzymes stored in them.
- These enzymes are used to digest complex molecules in a cell. When released into the cytoplasm, these enzymes can "digest" or destroy the cell itself. Therefore, they are called "suicide bags.
