Question
hydrogen peroxide metabolism
metabolism of hydrogen peroxide is the function of which organelle?
golgi apparatus
smooth endoplasmic reticulum (er)
nucleus
peroxisome
proteasomes
Peroxisomes contain enzymes that break down hydrogen - peroxide as part of their normal metabolic function. The other organelles listed have different primary functions. The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification (but not hydrogen - peroxide metabolism). The nucleus contains genetic material and controls cellular activities. Proteasomes are involved in protein degradation.
