Radioactive materials that are high energy and will cause cellular and tissue damage are usually known as ; Alpha radiation.

<h3>What is Radioactive material and Alpha Radiation ?</h3>
  • Chemicals in the class of radionuclides (also known as radioactive materials) have unstable atomic nuclei. They stabilize themselves by altering the nucleus (spontaneous fission, emission of alpha particles, or conversion of neutrons to protons or the reverse).
  • For example, the Earth's crust naturally contains the radioactive elements uranium and thorium. These two elements slowly alter their forms over billions of years, leading to the production of decay byproducts like radon and radium. Energy is released during this process. Alpha radiation is one type of this energy.
  • Alpha particles, also called alpha rays or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus. They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways.

Fed [463]

This potential is then used to drive ATP synthase and produce ATP from ADP and a phosphate group. Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidised glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system).

Which would likely absorb the least solar radiation?
Ahat [919]

C. Clouds

Explanation - The solar radiation is absorbed by the earth that keeps the atmosphere or the environment of the planet warm. Clouds do not absorb, rather reflects the solar radiation thereby keeping the earth's surface cool.

Thin clouds allows the transmission of the incoming solar radiation towards the earth. Sweater is not involved in maintaining the temperature of the earth. It just keeps our body warm by absorbing solar radiation. Mountains also absorbs solar radiation and helps the plants to grow and animals to live.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1. the F' plasmid.

2. the bacterial chromosome

3. the bacterial chromosome

4.  the F' plasmid.

Explanation:

The F' plasmid is an extrachromosomal DNA molecule composed of genes that act during the transference of genetic material. This plasmid can also be defined as an episome capable of transferring itself into another bacterial chromosome. The bacteria that contain F factor are named F+, while bacteria without this factor are called F-. During conjugation, the F+ factor interacts with F- cells to enable DNA transference among bacteria.
