Peroxisomes
Small membranous spherical organelles
Contain enzymes synthesized in free ribosomes: >>1-Oxidases → Oxidize fatty acids producing H2O2 >>2-Peroxidases as Catalase → Break down H2O2 [Which is damaging to the cell] >>3-Other peroxidases → Inactivation of toxic molecules as some drugs, [as in liver and kidney cells] → Formation of bile acids and cholesterol
