Best Answer

Peroxisomes are mostly found in the liver and kidney because many things digested are detoxified through the live and kidney. Therefore, more peroxisomes have evolved into these organs for better detoxification.

Is peroxisome found in plants or animals?

Yes, peroxisomes are present in both plant and animal cells.


Where is the enzyme catalase produced?

The major source of hydrogen peroxide in the cell is from the oxidation of flavin-linked oxidases: This takes place in the microbodies of plant and animal cells. Peroxisomes and glycoxisomes are microbodies found in the cells of plants and. fungi, whilst similar microbodies are found in animal cells, especially in liver and kidney tissues of mammals. There is also some evidence to suggest that catalase can be found outside of the peroxisomes, in the cytosol of the cell. Yeah,they are found in every mammal also. A long time ago, they were were thought to be in RBC but now they have realized the real truth.

What type of cells has many peroxisomes?

Peroxisomes have a single membrane that surrounds the digestiveenzymesand dangerous byproducts of their work (hydrogen peroxide). The protein enzymes are usually created by lysosomes floating in the cell. They then insert the proteins into the peroxisome bubble.

What are the orangelles found in plant cells?

I am assuming you meant organelles...if so, the organelles found in plant cells are sort of like those found in animal cells except animal cells do not contain chloroplast organelles used in plants for photosynthesis. The organelles in plant cells include: nucleus, plastids, ribosomes, mitochondria, Golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles, and peroxisomes.
