- lysosomes - contain ; sometimes called the \suicide sac
Lysosomes are membrane - bound organelles in cells. They contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes can break down various substances such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. When a cell is damaged or in a situation where it needs to self - destruct (for example, during programmed cell death or apoptosis), the lysosomes release their enzymes, which can digest the cell's own components. This is why lysosomes are sometimes called the "suicide sacs" of the cell. Lipids are a type of macromolecule (fats, oils, etc.) and are not the main content of lysosomes. Hormones are signaling molecules and are not stored in lysosomes. Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis and are not related to the content of lysosomes.
