Cellular organelles related with H2O2 are___________?

Correct answer: C. Peroxisomes

  • A. Glyoxisomes
  • B. Lysosomes
  • C. Peroxisomes
  • D. Ribosomes

Explanation

Peroxisomes contain oxidase and catalase enzymes that produce and then break down hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, during oxidation reactions. A student may choose lysosomes because both are membrane-bound organelles, but lysosomes digest materials using hydrolytic enzymes and are not the main organelles for H2O2 metabolism.
