Peroxisomes are small, membrane-bound organelles involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), using the enzyme catalase. They are distinct from lysosomes, which are primarily involved in cellular digestion. Key Points: • Peroxisomes use oxidative enzymes to break down fatty acids. • They contain catalase to convert H₂O₂ into water and oxygen. • Essential in detoxification processes, especially in liver cells. • Defects in peroxisomal function cause disorders like Zellweger syndrome.
