Q. What would happen if lysosomes get ruptured in a cell?

Cell : The Unit of Life

Solution:

Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles and consist of hydrolytic enzymes which capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers (like proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids). If lysosomes get ruptured in a cell, the cell dies due to release of hydrolytic enzymes which destroys the cells.
