<span><span>Burning of fossil fuels emits sulphur dioxide.  
<span><span>S (in coal) + O2SO2  
</span></span></span><span>
Sulphur dioxide reaches the atmosphere, it oxidizes to first form a sulphate ion.  
<span><span>
2 SO2 + O2 2 SO3</span></span></span><span> 

The sulphate ion joins with hydrigen atoms in the air and becomes sulphuric acid. This then falls back down to earth as "acid rain"

SO3 + H2O H2SO<span>4

Hope this at least helped a little c:</span></span></span></span></span>

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

OH, H2O2 and O−2

Explanation:

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be defined as highly reactive chemical compounds formed from molecular oxygen (O2). ROS are generated as a normal product of cellular metabolism, and also as a response to different environmental/internal cellular stimuli (e.g., cytokines, xenobiotics, pathogenic invasion). For example, hydroxyl radicals (·OH) are a type of ROS generated in the mitochondria which are capable of inducing oxidative stress in different cells and also trigger chronic inflammation. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecules represent another type of ROS which are produced during the stereoselective deamination of amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. These molecules (H2O2) exhibit toxic effects on the cell (e.g., DNA damage). Finally, singlet oxygen (1O2) is an excited state of molecular oxygen (O2) that is generated during photosynthesis in the photosystem II (PSII) of chloroplasts.
