Mitochondria |
an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers. |
|
Lysosomes |
an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. |
|
Peroxisome |
A major function of the peroxisome is the breakdown of very long chain fatty acids through beta-oxidation. In animal cells, the long fatty acids are converted to medium chain fatty acids, which are subsequently shuttled to mitochondria where they are eventually broken down to carbon dioxide and water. |
