Give an account on suicidal bags of the cell. 

1 Answer

Answer :

Ans: These are Lysosomes. They have single unit membrane and formed from E.R. and Golgi complex. These were discovered by de Duve. They are rich in hydrolytic enzymes and play a role in digestion. Freshly formed lysosomes are called as Primary lysosomes. Lysosomes associated with food vacuoles are contents of the same cell as secondary lysosomes and lysosomes with undigested left over particles as residual bodies or telolysosomes. Since lysosomes can destroy the contents of the same cell they are called as Suicidal bags of the cell.
