<span><em>Whether living or non living:</em>
<em>When you put a sample of tissue under a microscope, if u can see a cell membrane, and can identify some cell structures like nucleus, mitochondria, vacuoles etc. , it was living, if not, its a non living thing.</em></span>

<span><em>However some cells don't have a nucleus( eg. prokaryotic cells), but all cells have a cell membrane or some sort of protective covering to contain the cell's insides. </em></span>

<span><em>To check if your specimen maybe-once living, maybe-still living "something", is living, get a look at it through an electron microscope - thats the best microscope ever- and see if the mitochondria's making any ATP( adenosine triphosphate, source of energy for most organisms), if it does, its living. If not, no</em></span><em>n living. :)</em>

Write three observations that could help you identify a fish.
Alex
The three observations that could help an individual in distinguising whether the organism is a fish or not is that it should live under water as fish can't survive without water, another thing is that it should laid eggs when it comes to giving birth because when it does not lay eggs but produces a living organism normally without an egg, it is considered to be a mammal and lastly, the appearance it possess such as having gils or fins.

Radioactive materials that are high energy and will cause cellular and tissue damage are called:______.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

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.
