Introduction to Peroxisomes: Peroxisomes are small membrane-bound, self-replicating organelle found in nearly all eukaryotic cells. They contain oxidative enzymes, such as D-amino acid oxidase, ureate oxidase, and catalase. They are a [...]
The eukaryotic cells are found in most of the algae, fungi, protozoa and all the higher plants and animals. Irrespective of their variable shapes and sizes, these cells display the following fundamental components (Fig 1.15): 1. Cell wall and Plasmalemma or cytoplasmic membrane, 2. Cytoplasm and 3. Nucleus. The eukaryotic cells contain extensive internal membrane systems such as endoplasmic reticulum [...]
