Peroxisomes are found in virtually all eukaryotic cells, including both plant and animal cells, as well as fungi and protists. Their specific metabolic roles may vary between organisms; for instance, plant peroxisomes are involved in photorespiration and glyoxylate cycle pathways, whereas animal peroxisomes focus more on fatty acid oxidation and detoxification. Their widespread presence demonstrates their fundamental role in cellular metabolism across kingdoms.
