A) \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\] destruction
B) conversion of fats to carbohydrates
C) detoxification of heavy metals
D) oxidation phosphorylation
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The function of peroxisomes is H2O2 destruction. Peroxisomes are organelles containing a few flavoprotein oxidases which use molecular oxygen and produce H2O2 e.g., D-amino acid oxidase. Peroxisomes also contain peroxidases which utilize the H2O2 formed for other oxidation reaction. The H2O2 synthesized and cleaved in the peroxisane. 2H2O2\[\xrightarrow{catalase}\]2H2O + O2 The function of mitochondria is oxidation phosphorylation. The function of liver is conversion of fats to carbohydrates with the help of emulsiflcation. The function of endoplasmic reticulum is detoxification of heavy metals.
