Difference Between Glyoxysomes and Peroxisomes
The key difference between glyoxysomes and peroxisomes is that glyoxysomes are present only in plant cells and filamentous fungi while peroxisomes are present in almost all eukaryotic cells. Glyoxysomes are abundant in plant cells of germinating seeds while peroxisomes are abundant in liver and kidney cells.
These two organelles are micro-bodies present in eukaryotic cells. Glyoxysomes are specialized peroxisomes found only in plant cells and filamentous fungi. Peroxisomes are organelles that help to break down long fatty acid chains and detoxify the cell.
