The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which organelle protects the cell from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Glyoxysome**: This organelle is involved in converting fatty acids into carbohydrates. It does not play a role in detoxifying hydrogen peroxide. - **Ribosomes**: Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. They do not have a function related to detoxifying hydrogen peroxide. - **Peroxisomes**: Peroxisomes are specialized organelles that contain enzymes to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, thus protecting the cell from its toxic effects. This is the correct answer. - **Lysosomes**: Lysosomes are known as "suicidal bags" because they contain enzymes that digest worn-out cell parts. They do not specifically deal with hydrogen peroxide. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer is **Peroxisomes** (option 3), as they are the organelles that protect the cell from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide. **Final Answer**: Peroxisomes ---
