Q. Cell organelle responsible for autolysis :

BVP MedicalBVP Medical 2004

Solution:

The lumen of lysosome is filled with digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). The lysosomes release hydrolases in damaged or ageing cells to digest them (autolysis). So, cell biologists called lysosomes as suicidal bags.
