They split in two after they are too large.
Peroxisomes contain enzymes which metabolize hydrogen peroxide within the cell, hence the name.
They split in two after they become sufficiently large.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Peroxisomes protect the cell from peroxide(type of toxic waste) by turning it into oxygen and food! I hope this helped, I'm just a grade 8 working on a cell project looking for some answers and thought i'd try and help you out:)
Peroxisomes and I am 100% sure
Lysosomes and peroxisomes.
Peroxisomes were discovered by a man named Christian De Duve. When discovered lysosomes in a cell, he also happened to come across peroxisomes (which he coined both terms).
Peroxisomes contain enzymes which metabolize hydrogen peroxide within the cell, hence the name.
A cell with abundant peroxisomes would most likely be involved in detoxification activities. Peroxisomes are also known as microbodies that are present in most eukaryotic cells.
Peroxisomes
The peroxizome contains catalase, an enzyme which facilitates the decomposition of H2O2 to H2O and O.
In the absence of peroxisomes, unwanted proteins would accumulate in the cell and the cell would have to figure out a way of getting rid of them
Peroxisomes isolate particular chemical activities from the rest of the cell. Peroxisomes are a type of microbody that helps the body break down large molecules and detoxify hazardous substances.
