Powerful Peroxisome

Peroxisome For Best Organelle

Why Vote Peroxisome?
          We have a single cell membrane that carry digestive enzymes for breaking down poisonous materials in the cell. We are very well known for the production of bile acids that are important in the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A and K and we also participate in the function of alcohol (ethanol) digestion that, because of that important role, your liver cells are going possess more peroxisomes than the majority of other cells in your body. And we don't stop there! We also play a role in cholesterol synthesis and the digestion of amino acids.
We Will Work Hard For You!

          We work in a very specific way. Our enzymes attack complex molicules and break them down into smaller molicules which creates hydrogen peroxide, which we then break down into harmless water and oxygen. The oxygen can be used for the next digestive reaction.

We Don't Discriminate, We Love Everyone!

          Not only are we in animal cells, but we are also in plant cells. You will find us in the glyoxylate cycle in germinating seeds, photoresperation in leaves, and fighting fungal penetration of plant cells.

YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT US!

VOTE PEROXISOME!
This is us at work with
amino acids
