Answer:
The correct answer is: Proteins in the cytoplasm would be damaged from the release of compounds damaging to the cell.
Explanation:
- Peroxisome is an organelle that remains enclosed in a single membrane, made up of a lipid bilayer.
- Eukaryotic cells possess them.
- They produce and store a large number of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species like, hydrogen peroxide, super-oxide radical and nitrogen oxide radical.
- These are necessary for catabolising or breaking down fatty acid molecules having long carbon chains by the process of beta oxidation.
- They also contain enzymes that catalyse oxidation reactions, like D-amino acid oxidase, catalase and uric acid oxidase.
- Rupture of the peroxisomal membrane will cause the release of these oxidative enzymes and oxidative radicals into the cytoplasm.
- This will cause the oxidation of amino acids in the proteins resulting in the protein to get denatured, damaged and non-functional.
