peroksisiin
Peroksisiin is a term that can refer to several related concepts primarily within chemistry and biology. In chemistry, it is often used interchangeably with "peroxides," which are compounds containing a peroxide functional group, characterized by a single oxygen-oxygen bond (O-O). Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a common example, known for its oxidizing properties and use as a disinfectant and bleaching agent. Organic peroxides, with the structure R-O-O-R', are also important and are often used as initiators in polymerization reactions or as catalysts.
In a biological context, "peroxisome" is a more specific term. A peroxisome is a small organelle found
