===Glyoxysomes=== [[Glyoxysome]]s are specialized peroxisomes found in plants and [[Mold (fungus)|mold]], which help to convert stored lipids into carbohydrates so they can be used for plant growth. In glyoxysomes the fatty acids are hydrolyzed to acetyl-CoA by peroxisomal Ξ²-oxidation enzymes. Besides peroxisomal functions, glyoxysomes also possess the key enzymes of the [[glyoxylate cycle]].
