Vedclass · Answer

(D) Peroxisomes are small,membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
They are primarily involved in metabolic processes,specifically the breakdown of very-long-chain fatty acids and the detoxification of harmful substances.
Peroxisomes are rich in oxidative enzymes,such as catalase and urate oxidase,which produce hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$ as a byproduct of their metabolic reactions.
They also contain glycolic acid oxidase,which oxidizes glycolic acid (a product of photorespiration) to glyoxylic acid.
Therefore,the correct option is $D$.
