The many-sided biological role of vitamin C (ascorbate) is briefly illustrated by specific examples. It is demonstrated that in aqueous solutions, vitamin C emits solvated electrons (e(aq)(-)), when excited in single state. Vitamin C can also react with e(aq)(-) as well as transfer them to other biological systems and thereby acts as efficient electron mediator. Based on its chemical and biological properties, it is clear that vitamin C plays a very important role in various functions in the organism alongside biochemical processes.
维生素 C（抗坏血酸）的多方面生物学作用通过具体实例简要说明。实验证明，在水溶液中，维生素 C 在单重态激发时会发射溶剂化电子（e(aq)(-))。维生素 C 还可以与 e(aq)(-)反应并将其转移到其他生物系统中，从而作为有效的电子介体。根据其化学和生物学特性，很明显，维生素 C 在生物体内的各种功能以及生化过程中都起着非常重要的作用。
