Cells - Peroxisomes & Lysosomes

The video tutorial explains the functions of peroxisomes and lysosomes, two small, membrane-bound organelles. Peroxisomes contain hydrogen peroxide, a byproduct of breaking down fatty acids and toxins. Lysosomes, found only in animal cells, fuse with vacuoles to release enzymes that digest waste or food. This process is crucial in macrophages, white blood cells that engulf bacteria, where lysosomes help disintegrate the bacteria, allowing harmless materials to be expelled from the cell.
