Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Membrane-bounded vesicles that contain enzymes for oxidizing small organic molecules with the formation of hydrogen peroxide are called peroxisomes. Vacuoles are mainly used for storage, vesicles are involved in transport, glyoxisomes are involved in lipid metabolism in plants, and lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes for digesting macromolecules.
