Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

<span>Normally sterilizing food using radiation does not induce radioactivity but sometimes it may change the taste, texture of the food and it may also destroy the nutrients. radiation is used to kill the harmful bacteria and to increase the shelf life. when the radiation is very energetic it alters the food structure but it does not make it radioactive. To become radioactive one has to make a nucleus unstable. ionizing radiation normally cannot do this. FDA has established maximum energy levels for radiation to prevent the treated foods from becoming radioactive. The energy levels of the rays are too low to induce radioactivity in the food. So there is no harm in consuming treated foods.</span>

A mitochondrion has just been engulfed by a cup-shaped isolation membrane as it undergoes mitophagy. Before lysosomal fusion, ho
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Mitophagy refers to the process which is evolutionarily conserved in the organisms to remove the dysfunctional mitochondria in the cell.

The mitochondrial is degraded by the digestive organelles by engulfing the mitochondria.

The mitochondria are engulfed by the lysosome and then phagosome is formed which is double membrane structure. This phagosome matures into the autophagosome and now has the mitochondria engulfed.

Since the mitochondria contain toe layer and during mitophagy engulfed by the phagosome, therefore, there is a total of four-layer.These four layers separate the matric of the mitochondria with the cytosol.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
