Peroxisomes are called the recycle bin of the cell and are responsible for degrading unwanted and foreign proteins. There is no evidence to indicate the interaction of the peroxisome with other organelles directly. However, there is an indirect interaction since waste to junk proteins are sometimes packaged into vesicles and transported off to the peroxisome for degradation.

Do peroxisomes have a eukaryote?

You have it the other way around: eukaryotes are organisms that are made up of one or more cells that contain a nucleus. These cells are consists of smaller structures called organelles that are suspended in a cytoplasm. Peroxisomes are a kind of organelle. Most, but not all type of cells, contain peroxisomes within them.

What functions isolate particular chemical activities from the rest of the cell?

Organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes help isolate particular chemical activities from the rest of the cell by compartmentalizing specific reactions and processes. These organelles provide specialized environments for various biochemical reactions to occur efficiently and without interfering with other cellular functions.

Organelles that absorb and neutralize drugs and toxins?

The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for metabolizing drugs and toxins through processes like oxidation and detoxification. Additionally, lysosomes contain enzymes that break down and neutralize foreign substances within the cell. Both organelles play crucial roles in protecting the cell from harmful compounds.
