peroxisomes
![Picture](/uploads/1/3/8/1/13818703/1387465955.jpg)
Location: Peroxisomes are scattered throughout the cytoplasm of a cell.
Function: They breakdown fatty acid chains which get moved to the mitochondria where they get turned into carbon dioxide and water.

Location: The rough endoplasmic reticulum is located near the nuclear envelope of the nucleus.
Function: Aids in the folding of proteins and transports synthesized proteins to the golgi apparatus.

vacuole
![Picture](/uploads/1/3/8/1/13818703/1640989.jpg?140)
Location: In plant cells it is located on the opposite side of the nucleus. In animal cells there are multiple vacuoles that are contained in the cytoplasm of a cell.
Function: It isolates materials that could be harmful to the cell, acts as a container for waste and water, and it gets rid of unwanted substances within the cell.
