Part D - LO 4, Describe the Process by Which Oxidation Can Damage Cells and the Role of Antioxidants in Opposing This Damage

Antioxidants can work as vitamins, as phytochemicals, and as mineral cofactors within antioxidant enzyme systems. Complete the sentence below about the various functions of antioxidants.

Antioxidants do not $\qquad$

  • help stabilize free radicals
  • increase oxidative damage
  • convert free radicals to less damaging substances
  • donate electrons

Answer: The answer is: increase oxidative damage

Explanation:

  • Help stabilize free radicals: This is a correct function of antioxidants. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals by stabilizing them, thus preventing them from causing cellular damage.
  • Increase oxidative damage: This is incorrect. Antioxidants are known to reduce oxidative damage, not increase it. Their primary role is to protect cells from the harmful effects of oxidation.
  • Convert free radicals to less damaging substances: This is a correct function of antioxidants. They can convert free radicals into less harmful molecules, thereby reducing potential damage.
  • Donate electrons: This is a correct function of antioxidants. By donating electrons, antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause cellular damage.

Summary: Antioxidants do not increase oxidative damage. Instead, they help stabilize free radicals, convert them to less damaging substances, and donate electrons to neutralize them, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage.
