Q: Which cell organelle is known as the ‘suicide bags of a cell’?
  • A. Lysosome
  • B. Nucleus
  • C. Mitochondria
  • D. Centrosome
Correct Answer: Option A - A Lysosome is a membrane - bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes, Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria. If the cell is damaged beyond repair, lysosomes can help it to self-destruct in a process called Programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Lysosome is known as the 'suicide bags of a cell'.
