If flavoprotein performs the alternate pathway of transferring an electron directly to oxygen rather than to the next component of the ETC, TWO toxic molecules are produced. These cellular toxic molecules are HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (H2O2) AND SUPEROXIDE RADICALS (O2-). These toxins are reactive oxygen species (ROS) that produce free radicals.

This alternate pathway also results in damaging of the cells and early aging of the cells. There are enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase that catalyse the reaction for the degradation of these toxins.

What constitutes the most serious type of accident which could occur at a nuclear power plant?
Elza [17]
The most serious type of accident which could occur at a nuclear power plant is <span>core meltdown caused by a failure of water to circulate among the fuel rods. 
This is what happened in F.ukushima, Japan, in 2011, after a series of devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. This is why F.ukushima is still experiencing extremely high levels of radiation and parts of that area cannot be inhabited anymore.
