The function of Peroxisomes (also no as Micro-bodies) is to break down a long chain of fatty acids. The micro-bodies break the fatty acids down and make it more manageable for the rest of the cells.

Functions of Peroxisomes?
Peroxisomes protect the cell from peroxide(type of toxic waste) by turning it into oxygen and food! I hope this helped, I'm just a grade 8 working on a cell project looking for some answers and thought i'd try and help you out:)
What cell structure detoxifies alcohol?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What are the types of lysosomes?
The two types of lysosomes are Peroxisomes which is a vesicle containing oxidases and catalase. It's located by the smooth ER of the animal cell. The second type of lysosme is the Proteasome which is a tiny barrel-shaped structure that contain proteases. Peroxisomes functions include oxidizing amio acids and fatty acids; also detoxifing alcohol. The functions of Proteasome includes degrading unneeded, damaged, or faulty proteins by cutting them into small peptides.
What are peroxisomes and glyoxosomes examples of?
Microbodies
Is peroxisome found in plants or animals?
Yes, peroxisomes are present in both plant and animal cells.
What functions isolate particular chemical activities from the rest of the cell?
Peroxisomes isolate particular chemical activities from the rest of the cell. Peroxisomes are a type of microbody that helps the body break down large molecules and detoxify hazardous substances.
What does th smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum do?
It has several functions. Production of lipids,peroxisomes,glyoxisomes,Ca storage,
Organelles that absorb and neutralize drugs and toxins?
peroxisomes.

Is peroxisomes a type of exocrine gland?
Peroxisomes are not glands.They are small organells.
Do peroxisomes self replicate?
Yes, according to the Internet, peroxisomes do self-replicate.
What cell structure detoxifies alcohol?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What Detoxify alcohol and hydrogen peroxide?
Peroxisomes detoxifies alcohol and hydrogen peroxide
What are peroxisome or microbodies?
Peroxisomes, also called microbodies, are components found in all eukaryotic cells. They are involved in catabolism of long fatty chain acids and other such functions.
Which enzyme converts hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen?
The peroxizome contains catalase, an enzyme which facilitates the decomposition of H2O2 to H2O and O.
What has the author Frank Roels written?
Frank Roels has written: 'Peroxisomes' -- subject(s): Peroxisomes
What do peroxisomes do for the cell?
Peroxisomes contain enzymes which metabolize hydrogen peroxide within the cell, hence the name.
