Peroxisome
Peroxisomes IPA: [pɛɜˈɹɒksɪˌsoʊmz] (also called microbodies) are organelles found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. They are involved in the catabolism of very long chain fatty acids, branched chain fatty acids, D-amino acids, and polyamines, reduction of reactive oxygen species - specifically hydrogen peroxide - and biosynthesis of plasmalogens, i.e. ether phospholipids critical for the normal function of mammalian brains and lungs. They also contain approximately 10% of the total activity of two enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway, which is important for energy metabolism. It is vigorously debated if peroxisomes are involved in isoprenoid and cholesterol synthesis in animals. Other known peroxisomal functions include the glyoxylate cycle in germinating seeds ("glyoxysomes"), photorespiration in leaves,glycolysis in trypanosomes ("glycosomes"), and methanol and/or amine oxidation and assimilation in some yeasts.
Peroxisomes were identified as organelles by the Belgian cytologist Christian de Duve in 1967 after they had been first described by a Swedish doctoral student, J. Rhodin in 1954.

Mummified Principle
by: ParoxysmA beautyful green vision of life
Is shining at the horizon
Evidence follows his path
Logic is about to win
Against total irreality
Tired to death, repression is about to sleep... sleep
And wake-up into an ultraviolet dream
Where logic has done it's way through life
Now the mummified principles shall reborn
A coming back to nature prevails
Millions have walked for liberation day
Millions have walked to heal the sick
To end the prison state, to restore freedom
To restore freedom...
Blinded and feared bu the unknown substance
Population almost panics
Terrorized by the false prophecies... evocating immorality
"Never, never!" they said... "we heard it's dangerous!"
Politics class tell us it can cause degeneration
By the sign of the leaf, they should confess
Mother nature needs some support to discriminilized her
By the sign of the leaf, they should consult
Dr. greenthumb is waiting for you in his cabinet
Hundreds and hundreds of green lives wait us to live
Thousands and thousands of sick humans wait to stop suffering
