Biology
1 answer:
elixir [45]3 years ago

Answer:

They destroy the DNA or RNA

Explanation:

Cancer drugs work by damaging the RNA or DNA. The faster the cancer cells divide, the more likely it is that chemotherapy will kill the cells, causing the tumor to shrink. They also induce apoptosis. Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The radiations also induce apoptosis. Cancer cells whose DNA is damaged beyond repair stops dividing and die. The damaged cells die, they are broken down and removed by the body.

WATER CYCLE

Transpiration on the other hand is the same with evaporation that involves water molecules to be vaporized into the air but it is located in the stoma of the plants. It is like evaporation within plants. This is actually to have homeostasis in plants and still part of the water cycle. </span>
