PEROXISOMES

1)  Single-membrane cell organelles

2)  Beta-oxidation of LONG-CHAIN FATTY ACIDS  and VERY LONG CHAIN FATTY ACIDS       ( PEROXISOME Beta- Oxidation PATHWAY)

3) The BETA-OXIDATION is similar to the MITOCHONDRIAL   Beta-Oxidation PATHWAY  

4)  Peroxisomes also conduct oxidation of  BRANCHED FATTY ACIDS  and Omega-Oxidation of Ordinary Fatty Acids.

5)  The exceptional difference between these two pathways - in PEROXISOME Beta-Oxidation Pathway, Peroxisomes generate HYDROGEN -PEROXIDE from fatty acid peroxisomal beta- oxidation.
