Glycolate metabolism occurs in
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Peroxisome
- A peroxisome is a small cellular organelle which contains reducing enzyme catalases and oxidases within the cytoplasm of a cell.
- The glycolate gets oxidized to glyoxylate by glycolate oxidase and later this glyoxylate gets converted to glycine by glyoxylate aminotransferase (glycolate metabolism) within peroxisomes.
- So, the correct answer is 'Peroxisome'.
