Which of the Following Organelles Neutralizes Toxic Compound During Cell

Question

Which of the following organelles neutralizes toxic compound during cell metabolism?
A)microvilli
B)peroxisome
C)centrioles
D)ribosomes
E)mitochondria

Accepted Answer

Peroxisomes are responsible for the breakdown and detoxification of toxic compounds such as hydrogen peroxide. They contain enzymes such as catalase and peroxidase that neutralize these toxins. Microvilli are finger-like projections on the cell surface that aid in absorption, centrioles are involved in cell division, ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and mitochondria are responsible for energy production. None of these organelles are specifically involved in the neutralization of toxins during cell metabolism.
