  • If the lysosome gets ruptured or bursts open within a cell then it will cause autolysis i.e, it will digest the entire cell along with the cell organelles.
  • It contains acid hydrolases or digestive enzymes that digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, engulfed viruses or bacteria and macromolecules.
  • They can also digest or damage its own cell causing the cell death (autolysis).
  • So, the correct answer is 'Cell dies'.
