For each of the following statements, indicate whether it istrue of all, some, or none of the various kinds of peroxisomes.Please first answer the question, then provide an explanation. Iwould appreciate it if you could type the answer and handwriting isoften difficult to read.

5. Contains peroxide-generating chemicalreactions.
a. It is true of all, because it is general property ofperoxisomes.
b. It is true of glyoxysomes and some animal peroxisomes, becauseonly they contain peroxide-generating chemical reactions.
c. It is true of none of the peroxisome kinds.

6. Contains the genes coding forluciferase.
a. It is true of all because all peroxisomes contain the genescoding for luciferase.
b. It is true of glyoxysomes and some animal peroxisomes, becauseonly they contain the genes coding for luciferase.
c. It is true of none of the kinds, because fireflies and relatedbioluminescent organisms have luciferase protein present in theirperoxisomes but DNA is not found in this organelle.

7. Contains urate oxidase.
a. It is true of all because all peroxisomes contain urateoxidase.
b. It is true of many animal peroxisomes and in some plantperoxisomes.
c. It is true of none of the peroxisome kinds.

8. Is a source of dolichol.
a. It is true of all because all peroxisomes are a source of asmuch as 50% of the dolichol found in cells.
b. It is true of glyoxysomes and some animal peroxisomes, becauseonly they are source of dolichol.
c. It is true of none of the peroxisome kinds.

9. Is surrounded by a lipid bilayer.
a. It is true of all, because it is general property ofperoxisomes.
b. It is true of glyoxysomes and some animal peroxisomes, becauseonly they are surrounded by a lipid bilayer.
c. It is true of none of the peroxisome kinds.
