Answer:

D

Explanation:

Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.

Debunking the other answers:

A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.

B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.

C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.

Thus, D is correct.

A 40.2 g sample of a metal heated to 99.3°C is placed into a calorimeter containing 120 g of water at 21.8°C. The final temper
aliina [53]

Answer:

B) Iron (c=0.45 J/g°C)

Explanation:

Given that:-

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by metal

Thus,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_f-T_i)

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,  

m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_i-T_f)

For water:

Mass = 120 g

Initial temperature = 21.8 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For metal:

Mass = 40.2 g

Initial temperature = 99.3 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of metal = ?

So,  

120\times 4.184\times (24.5-21.8)=40.2\times C_{metal}\times (99.3-24.5)

40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=120\times \:2.7\times \:4.184

40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=1355.616

C_{metal}=0.45\ J/g^0C

<u>This value corresponds to iron. Thus answer is B.</u>

Activity C: Hydrolysis of Carbohydrates As discussed earlier, disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides linked together.
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Sucrose: glucose and fructose

Explanation:

<em>What monosaccharides will result from the hydrolysis of sucrose?</em>

<em>Sucrose</em> is a <em>disaccharide</em> composed of 2 different <em>monosaccharides</em>: glucose and fructose joining by a 1 ⇒ 2 bond. These monosaccharides will be released upon the hydrolysis of sucrose.

<em>What monosaccharide will result from the hydrolysis of starch?</em>

<em>Starch</em> is a <em>polysaccharide</em> composed of numerous glucose monomers joined by glycosidic bonds (1 ⇒ 4 and 1 ⇒ 6). These monosaccharides will be released upon the hydrolysis of starch.
