Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are called as the ‘suicide bags’ of cells as they not only help in digestion of metabolic wastes but also in the autolysis or the breakdown of the cell itself. They are membrane-bound vesicular structures. They are rich in hydrolytic enzymes such as lipases, proteases, nucleases and carbohydrases.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the cell gets damaged, then one of the lysosomes bursts and release some digestive enzymes. The released enzymes then digest their own cell and ultimately the cell dies. Hence, lysosomes are called suicide bags of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are capable of digesting nucleic acid, polysaccharides, fats, and proteins. Along with them lysosomes also digest or damage their own cells with their own enzymes, which leads to cell death. This process is called autolysis. Hence lysosomes are also called suicide bags.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Lysosomes are referred to as self-destructive luggage (suicidal bags) of the cell as a result of they contain Hydrolytic enzymes capable of digesting cells and unwanted materials.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
