Exp:C In plants, glyoxisomes (type of microbodies ) plays an essential role in converting fatty acids stored in germinating seeds. It contains enzymes for glyoxylate cycle through which fats are converted into carbohydrates (gluconeogenesis).

The function of peroxisomes is :
1 \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) destruction
2 conversion of fat to carbohydrates
3 detoxification of heavy metals
4 oxidative phosphorylation
Explanation:
Exp:A Peroxisomes provide protection against photo-oxidative damage. In photorespiration, glycolate transported from chloroplast into peroxisome then glycine glycolte is converted first into glyoxylate and acts to \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) to destruct. peroxisomes take part in oxidative process like reduction of reactive oxygen species eg. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\). Luciferase enzyme generating light in fire flies is also present in peroxisomes.

Who discovered the glyoxysome?
1 Jenssen and Jenssen
2 Tolbert
3 Beevers
4 Purkinje
Explanation:
Exp:C Harry Beever discovered glyoxysomes in 1961. Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found in plants and fungi, seeds that contain fats oils. Glyoxysomes are microbodies which occur in \(\beta\) oxidation of fatty acid, perform glycolate cycle, protect plant from photo-oxidation by catalase enzyme.

Which of the following does not contain DNA?
1 Mitochondria
2 Chloroplast
3 Peroxysome
4 Nucleus
Explanation:
Exp:C Peroxysomes are small, membrane enclosed orgamelle that contain enzymes involved in variety of metabolic reactions. Peroxisomes do not contain their own genomes, but mitochondria, chloroplast and nucleus are have DNA material.
