    Question

    Which cell organelle is known as the ‘suicide bags of a cell’?

    A.

    Lysosome

    B.

    Nucleus

    C.

    Mitochondrio

    D.

    Centrosome

    Correct option is A

    • The lysosome is known as the ‘suicide bags’ of a cell because it contains digestive enzymes that can break down cellular components.
    • If a cell is damaged or no longer needed, the lysosome can release these enzymes, leading to the cell’s breakdown or self-destruction, a process known as autolysis.

    Information Booster

    • Nucleus: The nucleus is the control center of the cell, storing genetic material and regulating cell functions like growth and reproduction.
    • Mitochondrion: The mitochondrion produces energy (ATP) through cellular respiration and plays a role in regulating cell death, contributing to energy supply.
    • Centrosome: The centrosome organizes microtubules during cell division, helping in chromosome movement and cell structure organization.
