Detailed Solution

Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are involved in a variety of metabolic processes, including the detoxification of harmful substances. The primary function of peroxisomes is to break down fatty acids and amino acids and in addition to fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, peroxisomes are also involved in the metabolism of other molecules, such as purines, polyamines, and ethanol. They can also play a role in the synthesis of certain lipids and in the defence against certain pathogens.
