Answer the following question given this paragraph: Peroxisomes Peroxisomes are small, round organelles enclosed by single membranes. They carry out oxidation reactions that break down fatty acids and amino acids. They also detoxify many poisons that may enter the body. Alcohol is detoxified by peroxisomes in liver cells. A byproduct of these oxidation reactions is hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, which is contained within the peroxisomes to prevent the chemical from causing damage to cellular components outside of the organelle. Hydrogen peroxide is safely broken down by peroxisomal enzymes into water and oxygen. Q: Peroxisomes carry out oxidation reactions that break down what acids? A:

OPTIONS:
- nitric acids
- stomach acids
- acetic acids
- fatty acids and amino acids

Answer: fatty acids and amino acids
