The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Glyoxysomes**: Glyoxysomes are specialized organelles that are a type of peroxisome. They play a crucial role in the metabolism of fatty acids, particularly in converting stored fats into carbohydrates during seed germination. 2. **Identifying the Context**: The question asks where glyoxysomes are generally found. It is important to note that glyoxysomes are primarily associated with plants, especially in tissues that store fats. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Germinating grains of wheat**: While wheat does have storage tissues, it is not the primary location for glyoxysomes. - **Option 2: Germinating seeds of Gaster**: This option is likely referring to seeds that are rich in oils, which is where glyoxysomes are typically found. - **Option 3: Cells of the tuberous root of Beta vulgaris**: This option refers to sugar beet, which does not primarily contain glyoxysomes. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that glyoxysomes are generally found in **germinating seeds of Gaster**. **Final Answer**: Glyoxysomes are generally found in germinating seeds of Gaster. ---
