Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A nuclear particle which is positively charged is known as an alpha particle. An alpha particle is emitted during a radioactive decay.

Mass of an alpha particle is similar to mass of a helium atom, that is why, a helium atom is also known as an alpha particle.

Therefore, an alpha particle is denoted as ^{4}_{2}He. That is, there are 2 protons and 2 neutrons in an alpha particle.

Thus, we can conclude that an alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

-An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

-Alpha particle is one type of particles emitted during a radioactive decay, others being gamma and beta particles. Alpha particles are produced during the process of alpha decay.

-When an alpha particle is generated during a radioactive decay, the mass number of the radioactive particle increases by 2 while the atomic number increases by 4.

Which amino acids is good for cross linking?
Bezzdna [24]
To measure cross-linking amino acids in a collagen hydrolyzate using a conventional amino acid analyzer with ninhydrin detection, the bulk amino acids must be largely removed to avoid plugging the reaction coil. Tissue is thoroughly reacted with sodium borohydride to convert all intermediate cross-linking residues to their reduced, acid-stable forms. More vigorous reduction conditions may be used than when preparing profiles of tritium-labeled cross-links using NaB3H4<span> and direct amino acid analysis. </span>
