Question
Which is true about peroxisomes
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Peroxisomes are organelles that contain enzymes for various metabolic reactions. They produce and break down hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In plants, they are involved in photorespiration and fat metabolism (glyoxylate cycle in some). They are present in higher plants and animals. So all statements are true.
Hint
Do peroxisomes handle H2O2, photorespiration, and fat metabolism?
