The organelles in cells which are also referred to as suicidal bags are the

Step 1: Analyze the question The question asks which organelle is nicknamed "suicidal bags." The nickname hints at an organelle that can cause a cell to destroy itself.

Step 2: Explain the concept Lysosomes are small, membrane-bound sacs filled with powerful digestive (hydrolytic) enzymes. Their functions include:

• Digesting worn-out organelles (autolysis)
• Breaking down food particles and foreign materials, such as bacteria
• Releasing their enzymes when the cell is damaged or dying, so the cell digests itself

Because they can burst and digest their own cell, they are called "suicide bags" or "suicidal bags."

Step 3: Check each option

• A. Mitochondria: the "powerhouse" of the cell, the site of aerobic respiration and ATP production.
• B. Lysosomes: contain digestive enzymes and cause autolysis, so they are the "suicidal bags."
• C. Ribosomes: the site of protein synthesis.
• D. Nuclei: control the activities of the cell and contain the genetic material (DNA).

Step 4: Answer The correct option is B. lysosomes.

Exam tip: Match each organelle to its nickname:

• Mitochondria → powerhouse
• Lysosomes → suicide bags
• Ribosomes → protein factories
• Nucleus → control center

Think "Lysosome = Lethal enzymes" to remember it.
