I am confused the results be same as it happens when lysosome gets damaged during some metabolic activity or different . If same the cell will die by the actions of those hydrolytic enzymes slowly or immediately , I think the results might differ from the accidental case

Enzymes of lysosome are usually inactive and are activated only in low pH environments, so I guess, randomly puncturing a lysosome wouldn't affect the cell to any serious extent unless the cell is an acid secretory cell or It's membrane is easily permeable.
