The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Microbodies**: The question asks for microbodies involved in the glyoxylate pathway that are bounded by a single membrane and found in germinating fatty seeds. 2. **Understand the Glyoxylate Pathway**: The glyoxylate pathway is a metabolic pathway that allows plants to convert fatty acids into carbohydrates, which is crucial during seed germination when energy is needed for growth. 3. **Recognize the Type of Microbodies**: The microbodies that participate in the glyoxylate pathway are known as glyoxysomes. These are specialized types of peroxisomes that contain the necessary enzymes for this pathway. 4. **Location of Glyoxysomes**: Glyoxysomes are predominantly found in the germinating endosperm of oil seeds, where they play a vital role in breaking down stored fats into usable energy. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the information gathered, the answer to the question is glyoxysomes. **Final Answer**: Glyoxysomes are the microbodies that take part in the glyoxylate pathway, bounded by a single membrane and usually present in germinating fatty seeds. ---
