Options
(a) proplastids
(b) glyoxysomes
(c) peroxisomes
(d) mitochondria
Correct Answer:
glyoxysomes
Explanation:
In germinating seeds, fatty acids are degraded exclusively in the glyoxysomes. Glyoxylate cycle occurs in tissues rich in fats, such as those of germinating seeds; the enzymes involved in the cycle, which have not been found in mammals, are contained in organelles called glyoxysomes.
