    Lysosomes are membrane bound sacs filled with digestive enzymes. They are a kind of waste disposal system of the cell. These help to keep the cell clean by digesting any foreign material such as bacteria or food as well as worn out cell organelles. During any disturbance in cellular metabolism, for e.x. when the cell gets damaged, lyososomes may burst and the enzymes digest their own cell. Therefore lysosomes are known as the 'sucide bags' of a cell.

    Lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, foreign material and cellular debris. Lysosomes are capable of digesting nucleic acid, polysaccharides, fats, and proteins. Along with them lysosomes also digest or damage its own cells by its own enzymes, which lead to cell death. This process is called as autolysis. Hence lysosomes are also called as suicide bags
