Question

It contains enzymes for B-oxidation of fatty acids and glyoxylate pathway. • It is especially found in germinating fatty seeds. Identify the cell organelle based on the given information and select the correct option. O Peroxisome O Centriole O Centrosome O Glyoxysome​

Answer 1

Answer:

Peroxisome

Explanation:

Peroxisomes play two particularly important roles in plants. First, peroxisomes in seeds are responsible for the conversion of stored fatty acids to carbohydrates, which is critical to providing energy and raw materials for growth of the germinating plant. This occurs via a series of reactions termed the glyoxylate cycle, which is a variant of the citric acid cycle (Figure 10.27). (The peroxisomes in which this takes place are sometimes called glyoxysomes.)

Answer 2

Answer:

the correct answer is Glyoxysome

It contains enzymes for B-oxidation of fatty acids and glyoxylate pathway. • It is especially found in germinating fatty seeds.
