Peroxisome, membrane-bound organelle occurring in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Peroxisomes play a key role in the oxidation of specific biomolecules. They also contribute to the biosynthesis of membrane lipids known as plasmalogens. In plant cells, peroxisomes carry out additional functions, including the recycling of carbon from phosphoglycolate during photorespiration. Specialized types of peroxisomes have been identified in plants, among them the glyoxysome, which functions in the conversion of fatty acids to carbohydrates.
