Question

The catabolic lysosomal degradation of cellular proteins is called:

• A. Phagocytosis
• B. Autophagy
• C. Chaperon
• D. Autotroph

Hint:

Autophagy = ”self-eating,” a process of lysosomal degradation for cellular maintenance.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Autophagy is a process where lysosomes degrade and recycle cellular components, including proteins, to maintain cellular homeostasis. It is vital for responding to stress and removing damaged organelles or misfolded proteins.
