If a liver cell's peroxisomes are impaired, which consequence follows regarding fatty acid metabolism?

💡 Explanation

Impaired peroxisomes reduce beta-oxidation of very long-chain fatty acids because this process primarily occurs within peroxisomes, therefore these fatty acids accumulate rather than being broken down in mitochondria, and bile production isn't directly linked to peroxisomal function.
