Question 1
Question
Oxygen can be toxic
Answer
True
False
Question 2
Question
Which of theses are reasons that oxygen is essential?
Answer
Oxidation reactions
Generation of ATP (oxidative phosphorylation)
Detoxification reactions
Anaerobic glycolysis
Bio synthetic reactions
Question 3
Question
Why is oxygen classified as toxic?
Answer
When it accepts single electrons it is transformed into highly reactive oxygen radicals than can damage things.
When it accepts double electrons it is transformed into highly reactive oxygen radicals than can damage things.
When it accepts single electrons it is transformed into non-reactive oxygen radicals than can damage things.
It takes part in unnecessary reactions
