Answer:

Ionizing radiation

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation is a method of sterilization that can be used to sterilze material that can not withstand some higher temperature and cannot be exposed to water for sterilization.

It is form of energy that is released when atoms is released to move in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles. such as; X-rays or Gamma rays particles,neutrons, alpha or beta.

It could be dangerous if atoms inliving cells is exposed to it because the cell will be ionized, and it can lead to death of cell , or the mutatation of cell and can lead to cancer. Although not all cells are affected by ionizing radiation.

1)X-Rays, X-rays move in the form of photons energy .

2)Alpha Particles. Alpha particles have less penetration than gamma ray they don't penetrate skin as x-rays

3)Beta Particles, they are particles of electrons which are faster than alpha particles.

Cell walls are impermeable to transport of most materials required for bacterial nutrition.
mezya [45]

The given statement is False.

The bacterial cells walls are composed of peptidoglycan, also known as murein. It comprises polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides, involving D-amino acids. The bacterial cell walls are distinct from cell walls of fungi and plants that are made up of chitin and cellulose, respectively.

The cell walls in bacteria allow small molecules to pass through them freely, however, do not permit large molecules to pass through them, in this manner, it function as a coarse filter.

The main function of the cells wall is to sustain the shape of the cell and inhibit the cell from bursting due to osmotic pressure. The cell wall allows the components to pass, which are essential for bacterial nutrition.
