The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding peroxisomes and determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Peroxisomes**: - Peroxisomes are small organelles found in both plant and animal cells. They are involved in various metabolic processes. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - The statement claims that peroxisomes are involved in photorespiration in plant cells and help in lipid metabolism in animal cells. - This is true. Peroxisomes play a role in photorespiration, which is a process that occurs in plants, and they also assist in lipid metabolism in animal cells. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - The second statement claims that peroxisomes are the cell's garbage disposal system. - This is incorrect. The garbage disposal system of the cell is primarily the lysosomes, not the peroxisomes. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is incorrect, we conclude that the correct option is that Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **B**: Statement 1 is correct, and Statement 2 is incorrect. ---
