Vote Peroxisomes!

What is a peroxisome?

A peroxisome is a free floating organelle found in the cytoplasm of cells. Peroxisomes are organelles that break down organic molecules, through a process of oxidization into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The H2O2 is then quickly turned into water and oxygen. They also break down long chain fatty acids into metabolic energy. In plants, peroxisomes turn fatty acids into sugars, which are used for metabolic reasons also. This process is very important in germinating seeds.

Why should you vote for Peroxisomes?

A life without peroxisomes is not possible because no other organelle has the enzymes to break down fatty and amino acids and turn its remains into water and oxygen. Without the peroxisomes, H2O2 would would overrun the cell, leaving the cell defenseless.

  1. Peroxisomes have 16-17 different types of disorders caused by them not doing their job right. Some of them are fatal. Are they doing more harm than good? Without them, these diseases would not be present…

  2. How would you defend yourself if you were in harm? The cell membrane is a double-layered membrane that protects you from harmful substances and allows you to get crucial substances you need for survival. You may say you "pack a powerful punch" but something tells me you wouldn't be able to use that "powerful punch" when you are defenseless against diseases and viruses and ultimately end up dead.

  3. "would over run the cell" is the problem if there are no peroxisomes? You don't need to worry about that because without the Golgi processing valuable materials the cell would be already dead.
