MCQ on Glyoxisomes

Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found in plant cells. They participate in lipid metabolism, converting stored lipids into carbohydrates during germination of seeds. Glyoxysomes contain enzymes like isocitrate lyase and malate synthase that enable this conversion in the glyoxylate cycle. This is an MCQ on Glyoxisomes Structure and Functions.
