Solution
The correct option is C Glyoxysomes
• Glyoxysomes are specialized form of Peroxisomes found in some plant cells, especially in the cells of germinating seeds and filamentous fungi.
• They are oval, rounded or polygonal micro bodies having a diameter of approximately 0.5--1 µm.
• They were first discovered and named by Briedenbatch (1967).
• Glyoxysomes contain enzymes for beta oxidation of fatty acids and glyoxylate cycle. They are involved in gluconeogenesis.
