Microbodies found to be present in plant and animal cells contain
General KnowledgeBiology
- Abroken down membranes
- Benzymes
- Cacidic fluids
- Dwaste metabolites
Explanation
Microbodies — such as peroxisomes in animal cells and peroxisomes and glyoxysomes in plant cells — are small membrane-bound organelles whose defining feature is that they contain enzymes, for example catalase and the enzymes of photorespiration and fatty-acid oxidation. They do not contain broken-down membranes, acidic fluids or waste metabolites as their defining contents. The answer is (B).
