What is an analogy for a peroxisome?

Something that gets rid of toxic waste, maybe a toxic waste dump?

A peroxisome breaks down hydrogen peroxide. (more detailed answer under "what is a peroxisome")

No,DNA is not found in peroxisome.

It acts at the peroxisome of a cell

•The peroxisome can be compared to demolition machines because the peroxisome breaks down fatty acid molecules just like the demolition machines break down buildings.

the peroxisome is found in both plant and animal cells.

No they do not have.They are in eukariyotes.

the purpose of a peroxisome is to reduce the pH of free radicals. this neutralises them and stops them causing damage to organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria.

No they do not have.They are in eukariyotes.

They are in cytoplasm.They are eukariyotic cells.

There is no exact location.It is in cytoplasm.

It acts as a Fatty Acid to break down cells and this leads to cancer so the result is so that a peroxisome can make you die if you are bleeding.

analogy for a ship is analogy for a ship so its an analogy

are able to detoxify substances by enzymatic action

They are in eukariyotes.They are absent in prokariyotes.

Peroxisome is not a vacuole.It is an organell.

They are in both.But only in eukariyotes.

Yes,they are in plants.Also seen in animals.

The peroxisome breaks down toxins in the cell. I remember it by 'peroxide' for cuts so they don't get infected. That's actually where the name for peroxide came from.

Peroxisomes are enzyme filled sacs.There are no RNA.

In Both animal and plant cells.

It breaks down fatty acid molecules.

They involve in detoxification.Break down H2O2 and photorespiration.

I believe that the structure is a Peroxisome.

Yer,plants have peroxisomes.They are in eukariyotes.
