Which of the following statements is incorrect about Glyoxysomes?
Correct answer: D. They are present throughout life of a plant and provide them with energy through Glyoxylate cycle.
- A. They contain enzymes which help in conversion of fatty acids into carbohydrate.
- B. They are abundant in soybeans but absent in pea.
- C. They are single membranous organelles.
- D. They are present throughout life of a plant and provide them with energy through Glyoxylate cycle.
Explanation
The statement that glyoxysomes can provide with energy is wrong. They do not have an energy-coupled electron transport system like mitochondria, but instead contain flavine oxidases, which catalyze the substrate-dependent reduction of oxygen to H2O2.
