Answer
Cellular components are recycled through autophagy, a process by which cells degrade and reuse their own components. This process is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and for responding to stress conditions. Autophagy can be induced by a variety of factors, including nutrient deprivation, oxidative stress, and infection. During autophagy, cellular components are sequestered into double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes.
