Question

Peroxisomes are organelles that do not contain oxidative enzymes, such as
Options
A Catalase
B Hydrolase
Correct Answer
C Ureate oxidase
D D-amino acid oxidase
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Peroxisomes contain oxidative enzymes that produce and break down hydrogen peroxide. Catalase, urate oxidase, and D-amino acid oxidase are examples of such oxidative enzymes found in peroxisomes. Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis and are typically found in lysosomes, not peroxisomes.

Hint

Which of these is a hydrolytic enzyme typically found in lysosomes, not an oxidative enzyme in peroxisomes?
