Which of the following statement is incorrect about Glyoxisomes?
Correct answer: C. They are present through out life of a plant and provide them whth energy through Glyoxylate cycle.
- A. They contain enzymes which help in conversion of fatty acids into carbohydrate
- B. They are abundant in soyabeans but absent in pea.
- C. They are present through out life of a plant and provide them whth energy through Glyoxylate cycle.
- D. They are signle membranous organelles
Explanation
Glyoxysomes are single-membrane organelles found especially in germinating oil-rich seeds, where their enzymes convert fatty acids into substances that can be used to form carbohydrates. They are not present throughout the entire life of a plant, and their abundance changes with development. Students may choose option b because it gives a specific distribution claim, but the major incorrect statement is c, which incorrectly describes their lifelong presence.

About Cytoplasmic Organelles
Cytoplasmic organelles are the specialized structures suspended in cytoplasm, including mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles and centrosomes. Questions compare their structures and functions in animal and plant cells, including chloroplasts and the role of the endomembrane system in transport and secretion.
