the proliferators are what the peroxisomes use to help break down the hydrogen peroxide. They do this because hydrogen peroxide is harmuful towards the cell.
Peroxisomes protect a cell from pecoxide(toxic)Breaks it down into oxygen and waterthey basically get rid of the toxic waste called pecoxide and turn it into oxygen and water, hope this helped:)
A small organelle that contains enzymes for degrading fatty acids and amino acids by reactions that generate hydrogen peroxide, which is converted to water and oxygen by catalase.
Peroxisomes were discovered by a man named Christian De Duve. When discovered lysosomes in a cell, he also happened to come across peroxisomes (which he coined both terms).
