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).
Lorenzo's Oil works by targeting the peroxisome in cells. It helps reduce the build-up of very long-chain fatty acids, which is a hallmark of certain peroxisomal disorders like adrenoleukodystrophy. By promoting the breakdown of these fatty acids, Lorenzo's Oil aims to alleviate symptoms and slow disease progression.
A peroxisome can be compared to a vacuum cleaner in a house. Just like a vacuum cleaner helps clean up debris and maintain cleanliness, peroxisomes help break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances within a cell.
Peroxisome proliferators are a class of compounds that stimulate the proliferation of peroxisomes in cells. These compounds can include certain drugs, environmental chemicals, and fatty acids. Peroxisomes play a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes in cells.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Most of them. Lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, peroxisome, vacuoles all have single membranes. Nucleus has double membrane to make it less permeable, chloroplasts have membrane bound structures (thylakoid) inside its two membranes, and mitochondria have larger membrane that is folded within the outer membrane for added surface area.
•The peroxisome can be compared to demolition machines because the peroxisome breaks down fatty acid molecules just like the demolition machines break down buildings.
There is no exact location.It is in cytoplasm.
They are in cytoplasm.They are eukariyotic cells.
peroxisome
Peroxisome is not a vacuole.It is an organell.
They are in eukariyotes.They are absent in prokariyotes.
Yes,they are in plants.Also seen in animals.
They are in both.But only in eukariyotes.
They involve in detoxification.Break down H2O2 and photorespiration.
Glyoxysomes
Yer,plants have peroxisomes.They are in eukariyotes.
Peroxisomes are enzyme filled sacs.There are no RNA.
