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.

Alternation of generations in plants permits(1 point) neither mitosis nor meiosis. only meiosis. both mitosis and meiosis. only
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Alternation of generations in plants permits both mitosis and meiosis but at different stages.

The zygote will undergo many rounds of <u>mitosis</u> and give rise to a diploid multicellular plant called a sporophyte. Specialized cells of the sporophyte will undergo <u>meiosis</u> and produce haploid spores.

Hope it helps,

I'm not so sure.

Pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase catalyze reactions of gluconeogenesis that bypass the reaction of gly
dem82 [27]

Pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase catalyze reactions of gluconeogenesis that bypass the reaction of glycolysis that is catalyzed by pyruvate kinase.

<h3>Gluconeogenesis:</h3>

The tissues of some organs, including the brain, the eye, and the kidney, use glucose as their primary or only source of metabolic fuel. Glycogen stores become exhausted during a protracted fast or intense exercise, and glucose must be created from scratch to keep blood glucose levels stable. The process through which glucose is created from non-hexose precursors such glycerol, lactate, pyruvate, and glucogenic amino acids is known as gluconeogenesis.

Glycolysis is effectively reversed during glucose synthesis. However, gluconeogenesis makes use of four distinct enzymes to skip the three highly exergonic (and essentially irreversible) phases of glycolysis. The pyruvate carboxylase, PEP carboxykinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, and glucose 6-phosphatase enzymes are specific to gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis can only take place in particular tissues because these enzymes are not found in all cell types. In humans, the liver and, to a lesser extent, the renal cortex are the primary locations for gluconeogenesis.
