When your white blood cells encounter pathogens, they use harsh chemical reactions to destroy pathogens. During these chemical reactions, some harmful compounds called free radicals are generated. Free radicals are important for destroying pathogens, but if they accumulate in our cells, they can cause damage to our own cells, too. They can damage our DNA and proteins within our cells. How is vitamin C involved in these immune processes? Group of answer choices 1 Vitamin C is a coenzyme in the chemical reactions that produce free radicals. 2 Vitamin C is an antioxidant that prevents free radicals from damaging cellular components. 3 Vitamin C assists in the formation of collagen, which destroys pathogens. 4 Vitamin C assists in the synthesis of phospholipids to repair damaged cell membranes.

Immunology

Immunology is the division of science involved with the immune reactions occurring in living organisms. The organisms are accustomed to evolving internal defense mechanisms to evade the invasion of microbial pathogens. Diverse cells are connected with stimulating the immune responses, which produce inhospitable conditions to the microbes prompting their lysis and thus inhibits the multiplication of the pathogens. The immune system can distinguish the pathogens through the aid of cellular intercommunication and launch responses to destroy them.
