Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peroxisomes are specialized organelles that contain enzymes which are involved in the degradation of long chain fatty acids and toxic foreign molecules, specifically hydrogen peroxide which is toxic. These enzymes include catalase and peroxidase. Other organelles like mitochondria and lysosomes also have enzymes involved in degradation, but peroxisomes are specifically involved in breaking down long chain fatty acids and harmful substances like alcohol.
