Answer:

Type of radioactive decay which has occurred is an alpha decay.

Explanation:

Type of radioactive decays:

  • Alpha decay is defined as the decay process in which alpha particle is released. In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into a lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units and a mass of 4 units.
  • Beta decay is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron. The released beta particle is also known as electron.
  • Gamma decay In this process, an unstable nuclei releases excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and gamma -radiations are emitted. These radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral.

How would damage to the left posterior column affect you?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Posterior column mediates a pathway called as posterior column medial lemniscus pathway in central nervous which is responsible for mediating certain sensations like touch, vibration etc. Damage to the left posterior column unable to transmit signals to the primary somatosensory cortex in the gyrus and parietal  lobe of the brain.

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord and cerebrum is connected by some specialized tract called as white matter tract. These tracts are either ascending or descending.
  • The another name of ascending pathway is known as medial lemniscus pathway.
  • The origin of this pathway takes place within posterior column of the spinal cord.
  • Posterior column medial lemniscus pathway is important as it transmit signals to the cerebrum which is responsible for generating impulse like vibration, touch etc.
  • Thus damage to this column can't be able to transmit signals to different parts of cerebrum and thus impulse like touch, vibration,pressure etc will not generate.

Que hará un pez que tiene vejiga natatoria para sumergirse en aguas más profundas
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

La vejiga natatoria en un pez, se ve afectada por la presión hidrostatica del agua, generando presión y estrechamiento sobre esta, al disminuirse hace más fácil la inmersión, puesto que está vejiga contiene aire que tiene peso menor que el agua y hace flotar con más facilidad al pez, sin embargo cuando el pez sube, la vejiga aumentará su volumen y tendrá que nadar más para mantenerse más abajo en el agua

BlackZzzverrR [31]
Trophic levels go by, 
Producer (The nuts)
Primary Consumer (Squirrels)
Secondary Consumer (Raccoons)
Tertiary Consumer (Bear)


So squirrels would be at a lower trophic level.
 Hope his help :)
