Suicidal bags are:
Correct answer: B. Lysosomes
- A. Peroxisomes
- B. Lysosomes
- C. Mitochondria
- D. Chloroplast
Explanation
Lysosomes are involved in a process called autolysis which is a type of programmed cell death. In this process, lysosomes burst and their enzyme contents are quickly dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. In this way, the cell is disintegrated into fragments that are phagocytosed by other cells. Due to this function, lysosomes are also called suicidal bags.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
