-  - Peroxides are dangerous to many cells as they rob electrons from

-- Cells had to develop anti-oxidation defenses, including [[catalase]]
-- Cells had two ways to adapt to O₂
-  1. Become a strict anaerobe, and avoid oxygen-containing habitats
-  2. Tolerate O₂
-     - O₂ toleration can easily lead to aerobic metabolism
