A) Spherosome
B) Lysosomes
C) Glyoxysomes
D) Peroxisomes
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Peroxisomes were discovered by Tolbert (1969). These are small spherical bodies about the size of lysosomes (0.3-1.5 \[\mu \,m\]) bounded by single unit membrane. They resemble lysosomes in being filled with enzymes: however peroxisome enzymes are oxidative, of which catalase is the most characteristic. They are found in the leaves of higher plants, in which photorespiration takes place (in \[{{C}_{3}}-\]plant). In this process, green plants release \[C{{O}_{2}}\] during day time.
