Are fairly small organelles that provide a safe place within the cell to carry out certain biochemical reactions that generate hamful, highly reactive oxygen species. these chemicals are both generated and broken down in the same location (a) nucleosomes b lysosomes c)peroxisomes (d) endosomes

The correct option is: c) Peroxisomes

Explanation:

Peroxisome is a small cell organelle present in the eukaryotic cells. It is an membrane-bound organelle that contains various enzymes involved in the catabolism of the D-amino acids, fatty acids, polyamines and biosynthesis of ether phospholipids.

It is also the site for the oxidation reactions that generates toxic reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide. The harmful hydrogen peroxide produced is then decomposed to water by the action of the enzyme catalase.
