Cells produce hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct of many metabolic processes, but it is toxic to cells if it accumulates. Cells have enzymes like catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, preventing cellular damage. If cells are unable to break down hydrogen peroxide, it can lead to oxidative stress and damage to cellular components.
