Lysosomes are also called:
Correct answer: A. Suicide Sacs
- A. Suicide Sacs
- B. Chondriosome
- C. Storage organelle
- D. Dicytosome
- E. Power house of a cell
Explanation
Lysosomes are sphere-shaped sacs filled with hydrolytic enzymes that have the capability to break down many types of biomolecules. Lysosomes are known as suicide sacs of the cell because they contain lytic enzymes capable of digesting cells and unwanted materials.
