Both plant and animal cells contain very small granular bead like structures in their protoplasm, surrounded by a single unit membrane.  Such structures are different from lysosomal vesicles because of their specific physiological properties; they are called micro bodies. Their size varies from 0.6mm – 1.5mm. The number also varies from 20 – 100 per cell.  In germinating seeds micro bodies increase in their number considerably.  The contents of such structures may be amorphous, crystalline or fibrillar in nature.  However, the enzymatic contents in them vary.  Based on their functional properties they are classified into peroxisomes and glyoxysomes.
