Question

Peroxisomes _.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peroxisomes are involved in detoxification reactions, breaking down toxic substances through enzymatic action. They contain enzymes such as catalase and peroxidase that break down hydrogen peroxide and other toxins. They are not involved in secretion or particle digestion like lysosomes, and while they are sometimes referred to as microbodies, they specifically contain enzymes for detoxification rather than acid hydrolases.
