Solution
The correct option is C Take part in synthesis and storage of lipids
SER takes part in synthesis and storage of lipids. Peroxisomes are the single membrane bound cell organelles, which perform photorespiration in association with chloroplasts and mitochondria. They protect the cell from the toxic effects of H2O2.
So, the correct answer is 'Take part in synthesis and storage of lipids'.
