Explanation:
The effects of gamma radiation are investigated by studying plant germination, growth and development, and biochemical characteristics of maize. Maize dry seeds are exposed to a gamma source at doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 kGy. Our results show that the germination potential, expressed through the final germination percentage and the germination index, as well as the physiological parameters of maize seedlings (root and shoot lengths) decreased by increasing the irradiation dose. Moreover, plants derived from seeds exposed at higher doses did not survive more than 10 days. Biochemical differences based on photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids) content revealed an inversely proportional relationship to doses of exposure. Furthermore, the concentration of chlorophyll a was higher than chlorophyll b in both irradiated and non-irradiated seedlings. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy used to evaluate the amount of free radicals induced by gamma ray treatment demonstrates that the relative concentration of radiation-induced free radicals depends linearly on the absorbed
Answer:
The disease spread to the neighbourhood.
Explanation:
If the disaster such as earthquake and pandemic etc occurs in the neighbourhood so it also affected the health of the people of that region as well as the people that lives in the neighbourhood. In the case of pandemic, the disease spread to the neighboring area and affect the health of people while on the other hand, in earthquake the people of neighbourhood is also affected if the intensity of earthquake is higher.
Answer:
Explanation:
Only about five percent of starches are broken down in the mouth. (This is a good thing as more glucose in the mouth would lead to more tooth decay.) When carbohydrates reach the stomach no further chemical breakdown occurs because the amylase enzyme does not function in the acidic conditions of the stomach.
Answer:
Explanation:
A virus is a nucleoprotein and the genetic material is infectious. Speaking in strictly general terms, viruses infecting plants have single-stranded RNA. On the other hand, viruses that infect animals have either single or double-stranded RNA or they might have double-stranded DNA.
