Question

Microbodies resemble mitochondria in

• A. Using oxygen
• B. Producing reducing power
• C. Having catalase
• D. Formation of ATP

Answer 1

The correct option is A Using oxygen

• Microbodies or cytosomes can be defined as cellular organelle found in the plant cells, protozoans and animal cells (liver and kidney cells).
  
• The different types of microbodies present within a cell are peroxisomes, glyoxysomes, glycosomes and hydrogenosomes.
• The main function of microbodies is oxidation of fatty acids, amino acids, purines and alcohol (liver cells) which requires significant amounts of oxygen.
• Mitochondria are double membrane-bound cellular organelles which are known as the powerhouse of the cell.
• It creates energy-rich molecules (ATP) for the cell by utilizing oxygen.
  
• So, the correct answer is 'Using oxygen'.
