Degradation of a mitochondrion by microautophagy. The process by which mitochondria are delivered to the vacuole and degraded in response to changing cellular conditions, autophagy of mitochondria. Degradation of a mitochondrion by macroautophagy. The process by which cells digest parts of their own cytoplasm; allows for both recycling of macromolecular constituents under conditions of cellular stress and remodeling the intracellular structure for cell differentiation. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of substances, carried out by individual cells.
