What are the characteristic of peroxisomes?
Enzymes
What organelles are small vacuoles containing oxidative enzymes?
Peroxisomes
What are peroxisomes made of?
It is made up of a single membrane sac.Sac is filled with enzymes.
What enzyme breaks down enzymes?
Catalase break down H2O2.It is stored in peroxisomes.
What are analogies for plant cell Peroxisomes?
Peroxisomes are membrane-bound packets of oxidative enzymes. In plant cells, peroxisomes play a variety of roles including converting fatty acids to sugar and assisting chloroplasts in photorespiration. In animal cells, peroxisomes protect the cell from its own production of toxic hydrogen peroxide. As an example, white blood cells produce hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria. The oxidative enzymes in peroxisomes break down the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. A good analogy would be something that gets rid of toxic waste.
What are the characteristic of peroxisomes?
Enzymes
What do peroxisomes do for the cell?
Peroxisomes contain enzymes which metabolize hydrogen peroxide within the cell, hence the name.
What organelles are small vacuoles containing oxidative enzymes?
Peroxisomes
What does peroxisomes look like?
They are spherical in shape.They contain enzymes inside.
What are peroxisomes made of?
It is made up of a single membrane sac.Sac is filled with enzymes.
What enzyme breaks down enzymes?
Catalase break down H2O2.It is stored in peroxisomes.
Peroxisomes are small vesicles that contain several kinds of?
Peroxisomes are small vesicles that contain several kinds of enzymes that are used in oxidation processes. Other cell organelles include lysosomes and endosomes.
Does the peroxisomes detoxify harmful substances in the body?
Peroxisomes' cell membrane have enzymes that do get rid of harmful, toxic materials within the cell. Additionally, peroxisomes help to break down fatty acid chains and alcohol. They are similar to lysosomes in ways, except the enzymes found in peroxisomes work in oxygen-rich areas, whereas lysosomes work in areas with less oxygen. Interestingly, peroxisomes also produce toxic material--hydrogen peroxide. However, they are well-evolved enough to quickly breakdown the hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water, which is harmless to the cell.
How does a cell multiply it's peroxisomes?
They split in two after they are too large.
The major product of the enzymes in peroxisomes?
Major function is break down H2O2.So major product is water.
What are vesicles containing enzymes?
Primarily we see lysosomes [Lysozyme is the enzyme], peroxisomes and proteosomes. Their collective function is materials RECYCLING.
