Question

What is the function of the peroxisome ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Peroxisome has two functions..

1) breaking down fatty acids to be used to form membranes.

2) transfer hydrogen from compounds to oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide

Answer 2

Answer:Hi!!

Peroxisomes are small vesicles, single membrane-bound organelles found around the eukaryotic cells. They contain digestive enzymes for breaking down toxic materials in the cell and oxidative enzymes for metabolic activity. They are a heterogeneous group of organelles and the presence of the marker enzymes distinguished them from other cell organelles.

Main functions ;-

1)In animals ;-

Peroxisomes play an important role in lipid production and are also involved in the conversion of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide into safer molecules like water and oxygen.

2)In plants ;-

Peroxisomes facilitate photosynthesis and seed germination. They prevent loss of energy during photosynthesis carbon fixation.

Other more functions ;-

1)The main function of peroxisome is the lipid metabolism and the processing of reactive oxygen species. Other peroxisome function include:

2)The synthesis of ether glycerolipids of plasmalogens.

3)The formation of bile acids, dolichol, and cholesterol.

4)The catabolism of purines, polyamines, and amino acids, and the detoxification of reactive oxygen species

5)In methylotrophic yeasts, peroxisomes are also involved in the metabolism of methanol and methylamines.
