Card 13 / 34:
Compare and contrast lysosomes with peroxisomes: name at least two similarities and one difference.
Peroxisomes and lysosomes are both cellular organelles bound by lipid bilayer membranes, and they both contain many enzymes. However, peroxisomes contain enzymes that detoxify substances by transferring hydrogen atoms and producing H 2 O 2 , whereas the enzymes in lysosomes function to break down and digest various unwanted materials.
