Solution
The correct option is A Peroxisomes
Peroxisomes are microbodies having enzymes for peroxide biosynthesis. They include:
(i) peroxide producing oxidative enzymes like peroxidase, urate oxidase, amino acid oxidase and
(ii) peroxide destroying enzymes like catalase.
In mesophyll cells of higher plants, peroxisomes interact with chloroplasts and mitochondria to take part in photorespiration. For this purpose, they have the enzyme glycolate oxidase. Their number can be 70 to 100 per mesophyll cell.
