Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Beta particles have more penetrating power as compared to that of alpha particles. This is so because the size of alpha particles are larger that beta particles.

The smaller beta particles penetrates more in the skin and it can even pass through the skin, absorbed by a few centimeter of body tissue or few millimeter of aluminium.

But gamma radiation is more penetrating out of alpha, beta and gamma. Hence, the correct answer is option C

An atom of sulfur is represented by 3316s. how many neutrons are in the nucleus of this atom?express your answer as an integer.
user100 [1]
In this question, the sulfur atom has atomic number 16 and atomic mass 33. The Atomic number represents the number of the proton inside the atoms and atomic mass represent the mass of the atoms. Since electron mass to small, the atomic mass can be interpreted as the sum of neutron and proton. Then, the number of the neutron would be:

mass= neutron + proton
33= neutron+16
neutron = 17

Gosh, I love chem!

[H2O]/t should be 0.085M/s

this is because of the coefficients in front of H2S and H2O being the same.

the significance of this answer is that the H2S disappears at the same rate H2O appears.

Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system maintaining homeostasis?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:Releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar

Explanation: homoestasis is the process by which the body keep it's internal environment constant, regardless of change in the external environment. The human body has a normal range in which it's system operates and it uses homoestasis to keep these at constant.

Homeostasis could be positive or negative. It usually involves a sensor which detects the changes in the body and passes the information to the control center, a control center which receive information from the sensor and sends signals to the effectors and the effector which acts on the information sent by the control center to effect normalcy.

In this case, when a person eats food,he gets glucose. Blood sugar most be kept at constant so the endocrine system release the hormone insulin. Insulin helps to convert glucose to glycogen, which is the form it can be stored in the liver

When the blood sugar levels is low, the brain which is the control center causes glucagon to be released . This hormone converts glycogen to glucose
