Best Answer

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.
