During starvation,why lysosome digest its own cell organelles? what is the purpose of this process?

Expert Answer
When starving conditions are prolonged, cells digest part of their own cytoplasmic components to recycle metabolites needed to synthesize essential molecules. For example, cells can digest long-lived proteins to release amino acids. 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.
