Why do cells break down H2O2?
Cells would break down H2O2 for the use of H+ and O- ion in other need compounds or for the H2O molecules for hydrolysis reactions (breaking down larger macromolecules), unless your referring to why do cells seem to breakH2O2 into H2O + O2, it's not really the cells breaking it down it's the enzyme or catalyst that the cells contain, the catalyst that some cells contain (liver cells) that will break down H2O2 is Hydrolase.
What enzyme break down of protein to peptides?
peptidase enzyme
What cell part helps plant and animal cells break down glucose?
cytology
What is the function of the peroxisome in plant cells?

What breaks down nutrients in a cell?
no cells do not break down nutrients. digestive enzymes do and depending on where or what in the body you want to break down depends on what kind. for example in the mouth there is amylase enzyme which breaks down starch or pepsin in the stomach which breaks down protein. trypsin and erepsin also break down protein but in the small intestine. hope this is ok
Why does dish detergent break down grease?

Why don't animal cells have a lysosome in them?
