Solution
The correct option is C Glyoxysomes
- Enzymes associated with converting fats to carbohydrates are located in Glyoxysomes.
- Glyoxysomes are a type of peroxisomes found in plants and few filamentous fungi.
- They are particularly found in fat storage tissues of germinating seeds (peanuts, soybeans etc.) in plants.
- They contain enzymes (citrate synthase, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase etc.) which are responsible for beta-oxidation of fatty acids,
- It helps in fatty acid oxidation, glyoxylate cycle and gluconeogenesis.
- So, the correct answer is 'Glyoxysomes'.
