A peroxisome is a small, membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells. It plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, particularly in liver cells called hepatocytes. When observed under a transmission electron microscope (TEM), peroxisomes appear as spherical structures within the cytoplasm of the cell. In plant cells, conceptual images depict peroxisomes as one of the many components that make up this complex organism, and are responsible for carrying out essential metabolic functions such as lipid metabolism and detoxification processes. Comparatively, animal cells also contain peroxisomes which can be seen through microscopic views. These tiny organelles are present throughout the cytoplasm and perform similar functions to those found in plant cells. When examining both plant and animal cell anatomy, it becomes evident that they are vital components of these organisms' overall structure and function. Their presence is highlighted through comparative illustrations with labels indicating their location within the cell. Within an animal cell's nucleus, microscopic views reveal not only its genetic material but also the presence of peroxisomes scattered throughout its interior. This further emphasizes their importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis. One key molecule associated with regulating peroxisome activity is PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor). This regulatory molecule helps control gene expression related to fatty acid oxidation and other metabolic pathways carried out by these organelles.
