Reactive oxygen species are formed by several different mechanisms:
the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological molecules
as an unavoidable byproduct of cellular respiration.

Oxygen is the final electron acceptor. The low-energy electrons that emerge from the electron transport system are taken up by O2. The negatively charged oxygen molecules take up protons from the medium and form water (2H+ + 2e- + 1/2 O2 H2O).

5 billion years ago, gaseous oxygen began to appear. Unlike the carbon dioxide, oxygen almost certainly came about because of microbes. Microbes similar to today's cyanobacteria were present at this time.

This process releases oxygen as a waste product. Anoxygenic (or H2S) photosynthesis, using PSI, is seen in living purple and green bacteria. Oxygenic (or H2O) photosynthesis, using PSI and PSII, takes place in cyanobacteria.
