Answer:

Shining visible radiation from a torch beam onto a hand lights the hand up because the hand has been exposed to light.

Exposing objects to beams of radiation is called<u> irradiation</u>. The term applies to all types of radiation, including radiation from the nuclei of atoms.

Irradiation from radioactive decay can damage living cells. This can be put to good use as well as being a hazard.

Contamination occurs if an object has a radioactive material introduced into it. An apple exposed to the radiation from cobalt-60 is irradiated, but an apple with cobalt-60 injected into it is contaminated.

As with irradiation, contamination can be very useful as well as being potentially harmful.

aalyn [17]

Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body platelets aid in blood clotting and white blood cells help destroy and remove old cells and foreign substances. This is an example of how cells origin from the same cell (hematopoietic cell in the bone marrow) and then differentiate.

Hematopoietic stem cells are blood-forming stem cells. During hematopoiesis the hematopoietic stem cell divides via mitosis. As a result of mitosis, one daughter cell remains in the bone marrow to continue renewing the hematopoietic stem cells pool while the other goes through next stages of development. Maturate blood cell (red, white or platelet) to leave the bone marrow and enters the circulation.
