  1. Lysosome/Peroxisome By Anthony Jones

  2. Lysosomes and Peroxisome • Lysosomes are roughly spherical bodies enclosed by a single membrane. They are manufactured by the Golgi apparatus. • Peroxisomes are about the size of lysosomes (0.5–1.5 µm) and like them are enclosed by a single membrane. They also resemble lysosomes in being filled with enzymes. However, peroxisomes bud off from the endoplasmic reticulum, not the Golgi apparatus

  3. Thoughts of what lysosomes do. • At one time, it was thought that lysosomes were responsible for killing cells scheduled to be removed from a tissue. This is incorrect.

  4. What Their job is. • Lysosomes are the cell's waste disposal system and can break up anything. They digest almost everything. One exception is asbestos. • Peroxisomes protect a cell from pecoxide(toxic)Breaks it down into oxygen and water.
