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.

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.
