Question

question 15 (2.5 points)
which organelle has enzymes that break down fatty acids, amino acids, and toxins?
lysosomes
peroxisomes
golgi bodies
vacuoles
rough er
question 16 (2.5 points)
which organisms are the most diverse forms of life?
protists
fungi

Explanation:

• Question 15: Lysosomes are known for breaking down macromolecules like proteins, lipids, etc. Peroxisomes specifically break down fatty acids, amino acids, and detoxify toxins. Golgi bodies are involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids. Vacuoles are mainly for storage. Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis.
• Question 16: Protists are a very diverse group of eukaryotic organisms. They include organisms like algae (plant - like protists), protozoa (animal - like protists), and slime molds (fungus - like protists). Fungi are a distinct kingdom with their own set of characteristics and are not as diverse as protists in terms of the range of forms and lifestyles.

Answer:

• Question 15: peroxisomes
• Question 16: protists
