What is singlet oxygen?

When photosensitizers (light sensitize molecules which selectively accumulate on cancer cells) are illuminated with certain colors of light they absorb the energy and become excited. With this extra energy, they become unstable and off-load or donate energy as electrons to oxygen in the immediate vicinity and create a special form of oxygen named singlet oxygen. These singlet oxygen molecules also are highly unstable and off-load energy by donating electrons, oxidising (damaging) the nearby structures in the cancer cells.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
