Definitions and meanings of "Peroxisome"

What do we mean by peroxisome?

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

An intracellular organelle found in all eukaryotes (except Archezoa) which is the source of the enzymes that catalyze the production and breakdown hydrogen peroxide, and are responsible for the oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. noun

An intracellular organelle found in all eukaryotes (except Archezoa) which is the source of the enzymes that catalyze the production and breakdown hydrogen peroxide, and are responsible for the oxidation of long-chain fatty acids.
