Why are lysosome is known as suicide bags?


Lysosomes are like the cleaners of a cell, breaking down old or damaged stuff. They contain strong enzymes that can break down almost anything. Sometimes, when cells get old or if something goes wrong, lysosomes can release these enzymes, which can harm the cell itself. This act of the cell harming itself is why some people call lysosomes “suicide bags.” It’s like a last-resort way for the cell.
