Q. In plant cells, peroxisomes are associated with

AIPMTAIPMT 1993Cell : The Unit of Life

Solution:

In plant cells, peroxisomes are associated with photorespiration. Peroxisomes are found only in C3 plants where a wasteful phenomenon of photorespiration occurs. The other organelles associated with this process are chloroplast and mitochondria. Peroxisomes are also reported in animal cells, i.e. liver and kidney cells. The peroxisome contains several enzyme such as amino transferse, glycolate oxidase, glyoxylate reductase, peroxidase and catalase etc.
