Question
In germinating seeds fatty acids are degraded exclusively in the
Options
A.proplaystids
B.glyoxysomes
C.peroxisomes
D.mitochondria
Solution
Glyoxysomes are found to occur in the cells of yeast, Neurospora and oil rich seeds of many higher plants. During germination of oily seeds, the stored lipid molecules of spherosomes are hydrolysed by the enzyme lipase to glycerol and fatty acids. The long chain fatty acids are then broken down by successive removal of two carbon fragments in the process of β oxidation.
Peroxisomes are present in all photosynthetic cella of higher plants in etiolated leaf tissue. It is the site of hydrogen peroxide metabolism and glycolate cycle.
Mitochondria is the site of aerobic respiration in eukaryoti cell.
