Question

What is autophagy?Which cell organelle is involved in this process? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Autophagy  is a catabolic process in eukaryotic cells that delivers cytoplasmic components and organelles to the lysosomes for digestion. Lysosomes are specialized organelles that break up macromolecules, allowing the cell to reuse the materials.

Explanation:The lysosome or vacuole is the major catabolic factory in eukaryotic cells and contains a range of hydrolases capable of degrading all cellular constituents. Organelle turnover is accomplished exclusively at this location through a process of autophagy that is conserved among yeast, plant, and animal cells.

Autophagy is mediated by a unique organelle called the autophagosome. As autophagosomes engulf a portion of cytoplasm, autophagy is generally thought to be a nonselective degradation system

Answer 2

Answer:

autophagy is a consumption of the bodys own tissue as a metabolic process occuring in starvation and certain diseases. in lysosomes it is involved.
