Answer

Autophagy promotes longevity by removing damaged organelles and proteins from cells. This process helps to maintain cellular homeostasis and prevent the accumulation of toxic substances that can lead to cell death. Autophagy also plays a role in recycling cellular components, which can provide the cell with nutrients and energy. By promoting the removal of damaged cellular components and the recycling of nutrients, autophagy helps to maintain cell health and longevity.
