Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peroxisomes are not derived from the endoplasmic reticulum; they are formed by the growth and division of pre-existing peroxisomes. They are bounded by a single membrane, not a double membrane, and they do not possess acid phosphatase or mannose phosphotransferase activity. Peroxisomes are found in nearly all eukaryotic cells, not just in algae and photosynthetic cells in plants.
