Which organelle is involved in the breakdown of fatty acids and the detoxification of alcohol?
A
Peroxisome
B
Lysosome
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary functions of each organelle listed in the options.
Understand that peroxisomes are small, membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes responsible for oxidative reactions, including the breakdown of fatty acids and detoxification of alcohol.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste processing within the cell, using enzymes to break down macromolecules.
Note that the Golgi apparatus is primarily involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell.
Remember that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration, not directly involved in fatty acid breakdown or alcohol detoxification.
