Answer:
The following functions are related to lysosome:
(A) Autophagy (B) Autolysis (C) Pinocytosis (F) Heterophagy
Explanation:
- Autophagy
Autophagy literally means " self-eating". It serves as an orderly house-keeping process where older cells or protein or damaged cell components are targeted to lysosomal mediated degradation.
- Autolysis
In the case of autolysis, When a cell is damaged, the lysosome releases digestive hydrolytic enzymes and degrades its own cell. Therefore, lysosomes are termed suicidal bags.
- Pinocytosis
Pinocytosis literally means " cell-drinking", here the cell ingests minute droplets of fluid into the cell through the plasma membrane and forms a vesicle. This vesicle is then fused with lysosome and mediated to degradation.
- Heterophagy
Heterophagy refers to ingesting foreign particles into the cell through the process of endocytosis and then subjecting it to rapid lysosomal degradation.
Glyoxylation and Vitellogenesis
Glyoxylation is a chemical reaction in which a glyoxylate group is added while vitellogenesis is the process of yolk formation. Both of these processes have no relation to lysosomes.
