Question
Structures that may help in the conversion of lipids to carbohydrates are: a. Peroxisomes b. Liposomes c. Glyoxysomes d. Carboxysomes
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found primarily in the fat-storing tissues of germinating plant seeds. They contain the enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle, which allows them to convert stored lipids (fats) into carbohydrates (sugars) needed for seedling growth.
Hint
These are 'sugar-maker' peroxisomes in seeds, helping turn fats into fuel for growth.
