Question

﻿Use a flowchart to represent the biochemical
functions of lysosomes and peroxisomes.

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Below is the flowchart representing the biochemical functions of lysosomes and peroxisomes. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Lysosomes: - **Function**: Breakdown of macromolecules. - **Enzymes**: Contain hydrolytic enzymes. - **Process**: 1. Endocytosis: Engulfing of external particles. 2. Formation of phagosome. 3. Fusion with lysosome to form phagolysosome. 4. Digestion of contents. 5. Release of digested material into the cytoplasm. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Peroxisomes: - **Function**: Detoxification and lipid metabolism. - **Enzymes**: Contain oxidases and catalases. - **Process**: 1. Oxidation of fatty acids. 2. Detoxification of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) into water and oxygen. 3. Metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Lysosomes and peroxisomes are cellular organelles involved in digestion and detoxification processes, respectively. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down macromolecules, while peroxisomes contain enzymes that detoxify harmful substances and metabolize lipids. ⚹◊How do lysosomes and peroxisomes differ in their biochemical functions?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
