Answer:

95%

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

The lethal tumor dose is defined as the dose that will eradicate what percentage of the tumor yet preserve normal tissue?

a) 85%

b) 95%

c) 65%

d) 75%

Radiation dose is used as a therapy of cancer as the radiation leads to the breakage of the DNA and hence, renders the cell incapable of growth and division.

Lethal tumor dose is defined as the dose of radiation that is required for the production of complete eradication of tumor.

The dosage of the radiation depends on the sensitivity of the target tissues to radiation along with the size of the tumor.

The lethal tumor dose is defined as the dose that will eradicate 95% of the tumor however it would still preserve the normal tissue.

I would choose a virus because of how easily it spreads. Like right now is a great example. I would never intentionally do that but that would be the fastest way.

Mammals reproduce through a process called sexual reproduction. During this process, which involves two A.

Wewaii [24]

With sexual reproduction a sperm coming from the male must unite with the female egg. Both are needed for this kind of reproduction, and an offspring CAN'T be formed without both. Unlike asexual reproduction, the offspring of a mammal reproducing sexually is DIFFERENT from both parents, since the offspring is a combination of both the mother and the father.

An easy to remember example I use when thinking about what sexual reproduction is:

the formation of a human child. A mother with her egg and the father with the sperm is BOTH needed. If you think about siblings that come from the same parents (and therefore same gene pool) they are not all exactly identical to each other. Although they may have similar features, they look different and are NOT genetically identical

Therefor for your question the answer is D.

Hope this helped!

1) which is a role of cellular respiration in cycling materials between the atmosphere and biosphere?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

1) The correct answer would be A. it transfers carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

Cellular respiration refers to the set of biochemical reactions take place in a cell in order to convert the energy of glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The carbon dioxide is released as the byproduct of the process.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

2) The correct answer would be D. fermentation can occur without oxygen.

Fermentation is the process which occurs in oxygen is either absent or present in very less amount.

Thus, it enables the cell to survive when oxygen is not available.

For example, in humans, the muscle cells switch to lactic acid fermentation when oxygen supply is decreased during intense exercise.

It produces very less amount of ATP as compared to the aerobic respiration.
