Answer:
Nearby oxygen molecules can grab these electrons to form superoxide ions, or O2- ions. These ions and molecules destroy pathogens by breaking down their cell membranes and damaging their proteins. Another way free radicals can be generated is through exposure to ionising radiations like ultraviolet light or X-rays.
