  1. Sorry Pete, but  peroxisomes catalyze the reduction of H2O2.

    The answer is mitochondria.

    Edit:

    Wow!  Apparently the only source for these online poser biologists is Wikepedia.  I forgot that wiki was a reliable and authoritive site.  LMAO.


  2. mitochondria! THE POWER HOUSE OF THE CELL!! lol

  3. To start with, the most active production of hydrogen peroxide is made by white blood cells (leukocytes) but this process is also characteristic for the mitochondrias. That means that the right answer here is "mitochondria".

    Good luck for you !

  4. Peroxisome.

    A cell organelle containing enzymes, such as catalase and oxidase, that catalyze the production and breakdown of hydrogen peroxide.

    "Smarter than you" - as I said in my answer peroxisomes both produce and breakdown H2O2. I know that H2O2 is broken down!!

  5. mitochondria

  6. peroxisome
