Question

Cell organelle showing xenobiotics with the help of cytochrome $P450$ is also involved in

• A. Glycosylation process
• B. Glycolate oxidation or metabolism
• C. Glycogen metabolism
• D. Glyoxylate metabolism

Answer 1

The correct option is D Glyoxylate metabolism

Cytochrome P450 is an enzyme found in cell organelles such as mitochondria and is involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics. Glyoxalate cycle involves the production of glucose from fatty acids and a part of the cycle also occurs in the mitochondria. Therefore, the cell organelle involved in xenobiotic metabolism with the help of cytochrome P450 is also involved in glyoxalate metabolism.

So, the correct option is 'Glyoxalate metabolism'.
