Question

Zewellger syndrone is due to absence of

• A. Lysosomal
• B. Mitochondria
• C. Peroxisome
• D. Nucleus

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Zellweger syndrome is a condition characterized by the absence or malfunction of a cellular organelle known as the peroxisome. Peroxisomes perform crucial metabolic tasks, including breakdown of very long chain fatty acids and detoxification of hydrogen peroxide.

Options	Description
Lysosomal	Organelles involved in degradation of biomolecules.
Mitochondria	Powerhouse of the cell, generating ATP.
Peroxisome	Organelles critical for lipid metabolism and chemical detoxification.
Nucleus	Control center of the cell, containing DNA.

The correct answer is Peroxisome, as its absence or defective functioning leads to the development of Zellweger syndrome.
