Lysosomes are membrane-bound sacs filled with digestive enzymes. They are a kind of waste disposal system of the cell. They help to keep the cell clean by digesting any foreign material as well as worn-out cell organelles. Foreign materials entering the cell, such as bacteria or food, as well as old organelles end up in the lysosomes, which break them up into small pieces because they contain powerful digestive enzymes capable of breaking down all organic material. If their covering membrane breaks as it happens during injury to cell, the digestive enzymes will spill over the cell contents and digest the same. As lysosomes are organelles which on bursting can kill cells possessing them, they are called suicide bags.
