Question

When a cell is in nutrient deprived state, autophagy increases.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in a job interview.

I need to ask this question from Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems topic in chapter Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems of Cell Biology

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

The best I can explain: Worn-out organelles are digested by fusion with the lysosomes and the contents are made available to the cell. In a state of nutrient deprivation the occurrence of autophagy in a cell increases.
