Superoxide dismutase protects cells from damage caused by ________. A)∙O²- B)O₃²- C)H₂O₂ D)H₃O+

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide radical (∙O²-) into molecular oxygen (O₂) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), which are less reactive and less damaging to cells. Therefore, SOD protects cells from damage caused by superoxide radicals.
