Question

Role of peroxysomes ??​

Answer 1

$\huge\bf\pink{{\mid{\overline{\underline{peroxysome}}}\mid}}$

The peroxisome is a small eukaryotic organelle limited by a single membrane, specialized for carrying out oxidative reactions.

▫Peroxisomes are also small enzyme-containing organelles bound by a single membrane, which are very similar in size to lysosomes, measuring between 0.2 and 1.0 µm in diameter.

▪They are thought to be present in all eukaryotic cells.

▫In mammals, they are particularly plentiful in liver cells and adipocytes but are much less abundant in other cells.

▪ Like lysosomes, peroxisomes also have a role in metabolism; they contain enzymes that break down fatty acids and amino acids, resulting in, among other things, the production of the toxic substance, hydrogen peroxide.

▫ Peroxisomes therefore also contain high levels of an enzyme known as catalase which breaks down the hydrogen peroxide into harmless products (water and oxygen).
