Question

Which of the following is known as the suicidal bag of the cell?

• A. Mitochondria
• B. Lysosome
• C. Dictyosome
• D. Plastid

Hint:

Lysosomes digest cellular waste and damaged organelles, hence termed suicidal bags.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes. They are called the "suicidal bags" of the cell because they can digest the cell's own components when the cell is damaged or during programmed cell death (apoptosis).
- Mitochondria produce energy.
- Dictyosomes are part of the Golgi apparatus.
- Plastids are involved in photosynthesis and storage.
