remove hydrogen atoms from specific substrates in an oxidative reaction that produces
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
H2O2, which is a powerful oxidant and potentially destructive if it accumulates or
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
3j
escapes from peroxisomes. Ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes (nucleoproteins)
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
that are synthesized in the nucleolus and secreted into the cytoplasm through pores in
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
the nuclear envelope called nuclear pore complexes.

Lysosomesare saclike structures thatoriginate fromtheGolgicomplex andcontain
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
more than 40 digestive enzymes called hydrolases, which catalyze bonds in proteins,
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. An endosome is a vesical that has been pinched
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
off from the cellular membrane.

digestive enzymes within the lysosome and the cytoplasm, preventing their
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
leakage into the cytoplasmic matrix. Disruption of the membrane by various
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
treatments or cellular injury leads to a release of the lysosomal enzymes,
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
which can then react with their specific substrates, causing cellular self-
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
digestion. The chief function of a ribosome is to provide sites for cellular
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
protein synthesis. The Golgi complex is a network of flattened, smooth
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
vesicles and membranes often located near the cell nucleus. The smooth
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
endoplasmic reticulum is involved in steroid hormone production and
3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j 3j
removing toxic substances from the cell.
