Chapter 2.6, Problem 2CYU
Summary Introduction
To write:
The major compound that is produced in peroxisome.
Introduction:
The degradation of toxic compounds is maintained by some enzymes in an organelle called peroxisome. Oxidative enzymes that produce from peroxisome are involved in this process. These enzymes use oxygen to carry out the detoxification reaction.
