If an organelle like a mitochondrion becomes damaged beyond

If an organelle like a mitochondrion becomes damaged beyond repair and no longer functions, what does a cell do with that damaged organelle? nothing, it just stays in the cell and remains useless enzymes In the cytoplasm digest it so that its parts can be recycled it Is sent to the lysosome where it is digested and recycled it is excreted from the cell like waste

Solution

Enzymes in teh cytoplasm digest it so that its parts can be recycled it is sent to the lysosome where it is digested and recycled.

Damaged mitochondria wil be enclosed by the membrane derived from the ER called autophagosome. Which then fuses with a lysosome, and its contents are digested
