Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxidative stress occurs when there are excess oxidizing molecules that lead to damage to cells. Antioxidants, on the other hand, neutralize these oxidizing molecules and prevent them from causing damage. Therefore, the presence of more oxidizing molecules than antioxidants leads to oxidative stress.
