These Structures are an Example of a Microbody

Question

These structures are an example of a microbody.
A)ribosome
B)vault
C)peroxisome
D)golgi apparatus
E)rough endoplasmic reticulum

Accepted Answer

Microbodies are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells, which are responsible for specific metabolic functions. Peroxisomes are an example of microbodies, and they contain enzymes that oxidize fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances. The other structures listed are not microbodies; ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, vaults are not fully understood but may play a role in drug resistance, the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, and the rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and folding.
