Why are peroxisomes named for hydrogen peroxide?

1. Peroxisomes run oxidation reactions on fatty acids and amino acids. 2. Many of those oxidation reactions release hydrogen peroxide. 3. Hydrogen peroxide would damage the cell, so confining these reactions inside the organelle protects the cytoplasm. 4. Enzymes inside then safely break the hydrogen peroxide down into oxygen and water. 5. The organelle is named because its oxidations produce hydrogen peroxide. 6. Hydrogen peroxide is an output that must be neutralized, not an input consumed or a cofactor required, so the other answers all reverse its role. _Source: OpenStax Biology (1st ed., CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 "Cell Structure", section 4.3 Eukaryotic Cells_
