Question

In germinating seeds, the fatty acids are degraded exclusively in the (A) peroxisome (B) mitochondria (C) proplastids (D) glyoxysome

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Glyoxysomes are small, spherical vesicle enclosed by a single unit membrane. Glyoxysome are generally found in cells of common yeast, Neurospora and in germinating seeds. In later, the fatty acid is converted into carbohydrate, i.e., Glyoxylate cycle (gluconeogenesis).
