In plant cells, peroxisomes are associated with:
Correct answer: A. Photorespiration
- A. Photorespiration
- B. Phototropism
- C. Photoperiodism
- D. Photosynthesis
Explanation
Peroxisomes are involved in the photorespiration process, primarily in C3 plants. They contain enzymes that help in the oxidation of glycolate, which is a key step in photorespiration.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
