Peroxisomes were discovered by a Belgian cytologist named Christian de Duve in the 1960s. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974 for his discoveries regarding the structure and function of organelles within cells, including peroxisomes.

Peroxisomes are not glands.They are small organells.

New peroxisomes can arise through division of pre-existing peroxisomes, a process known as peroxisome proliferation. This can be triggered by various signals, including environmental cues and specific cellular conditions that induce the production of new peroxisomes. Additionally, peroxisomes can also form de novo from the endoplasmic reticulum, a process that involves the synthesis and import of peroxisomal proteins into pre-existing membranes to generate new peroxisomes.
Peroxisomes contain enzymes which metabolize hydrogen peroxide within the cell, hence the name.
The peroxisome is the cell structure that controls the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and oxygen. It contains the enzyme catalase, which catalyzes the breakdown of H2O2 into water and oxygen.
