Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autophagy is the process by which damaged or unnecessary organelles are engulfed and degraded by a lysosome. This helps to remove these organelles from the cytoplasm and prevent them from causing further damage to the cell. Exocytosis, pinocytosis, and phagocytosis involve the transport of materials into or out of the cell, but they are not involved in removing damaged organelles from within the cell.
