Gamma rays consist of pure energy. Beta particles consist of one electron that is released at high speeds from an unstable nucleus and an alpha particle is a helium nucleus.

We know that Gamma rays consist of pure energy because, during Gamma decay, the atomic and mass numbers remain unchanged. Therefore, only energy is emitted.

Gamma rays are weakly ionising, however, they are strongly penetrating and thick concrete or a few centimetres of aluminium is needed to stop them.

A balanced chemical equation is shown below
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H20

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H20At the reactant side, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.

atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.At product side, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.

(In a balanced equation, the no. of atoms on the reactant side must be <em><u>e</u></em><em><u>q</u></em><em><u>u</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>l</u></em><em> </em>to the no. of atoms on the product side)

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The minimum amount of energy needed the the cell to perform various cellular,biochemical and physiological activities is known is Gibbs free energy.

Explanation:

The change in gibbs free energy of is very much important to determine whether a given reaction is spontaneous,non spontaneous  or equilibrium.

 1 If gibbs free energy change of a reaction is negative then the reaction is spontaneous.

2  If the free energy change is 0 then the reaction is in equilibrium stage.

3  If free energy change is positive then the reaction is non spontaneous.
