Answer:

The correct answer is option A-"They release energy".

Explanation:

The phenomenon of radioactive decay, also known as radioactivity or nuclear radiation, occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus emits radiation and loses energy and mass in the process. The elements during radioactive decay release energy and mass trying to reach a stable form. The material that has the unstable nucleus is considered radioactive.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Radioactive decay is usually defined as a process by which an unstable nucleus of an atom continuously disintegrates into a stable nucleus, resulting in the liberation of a large amount of energy as well as matter.

The radioactive substances undergoes radioactive decay and these released energy is very harmful as they are emitted in the form of ionizing radiation.

These process of radioactive decay is commonly known as radioactivity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

A type of lymphocyte called a(n) ________ detects cells with abnormal surface proteins and kills them.
kirill [66]

A type of lymphocyte called  NK cell detects cells with abnormal surface proteins and kills them.

<h3>What are lymphocytes?</h3>

One variety of white blood cell is the lymphocyte. They are crucial to the functioning of your immune system, which aids in the body's defense against sickness and infection. An extensive network of immune cells, lymph nodes, lymph tissue, and lymphatic organs makes up your immune system. Immune cells include lymphocytes. The two primary categories of lymphocytes are:

T lymphocytes (T cells): T cells direct your body's immune response and actively hunt down and destroy cancerous and infected cells.

B cells, or B lymphocytes: The B cell produces antibodies. Proteins called antibodies hunt down viruses, bacteria, and other foreign invaders.

Your body's immune system uses lymphocytes to combat cancer and invading viruses and germs (antigens). Your immune system benefits from lymphocytes' assistance in retaining every antigen it encounters. Some lymphocytes develop into memory cells after an encounter. Memory cells detect an antigen and reactbwhen they come into contact with it again. You don't contract illnesses like measles or chickenpox repeatedly because of this. Additionally, it explains why some diseases can be avoided through vaccination.

Choose 6 liquids to layer. Hypothesize what you expect their densities to be. What liquids did you use, and rank their density w
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Let's pick six liquids randomly, i.e. honey, corn syrup, whole milk, water, vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol, and put them in a beaker. The higher density liquid will take the bottom position whereas lower density liquids will be on above of high density liquids.

We know that honey has density (g/cm3) of 1.42, dish soap has 1.06, corn syrup has 1.33, milk has 1.03, water has 1.00 (standard), and vegetable oil and 0.92. Therefore, honey will be at the bottom most position (rank #1). Above which would be corn syrup (rank #2), dish soap (rank #3), milk (rank #4), water  (rank #5) and vegetable oil (rank #6).

The results might be surprising for some students who think that water has highest density.
