[1993]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Cell: The Unit of Life - 4 - Question 7

In plant peroxisomes are associated with photorespiration. Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles in eukaryotes that function to rid the cell of toxic substances. They have a single membrane that separates their contents from the cytosol (the internal fluid of the cell) and that contains membrane proteins critical for various functions, such as importing proteins into the organelles and aiding in proliferation. Unlike lysosomes, which are formed in the secretory pathway, peroxisomes usually self-replicate by enlarging and then dividing, although there is some indication that new ones may be formed directly. Peroxisomes were discovered by the Belgian cytologist Christian de Duve in 1965

Glycosylation is the process or result of addition of saccharides to proteins and lipids. The process is one of four principal co-translational and posttranslational modification steps in the synthesis of membrane and secreted proteins and the majority of proteins synthesized in the rough ER undergo glycosylation. It is an enzyme-directed site-specific process, as opposed to the non-enzymatic chemical reaction of glycation.
