Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity or nuclear radiation) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, or a gamma ray or electron in the case of internal conversion. A material containing such unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Certain highly excited short-lived nuclear states can decay through neutron emission, or more rarely, proton emission.
B. More drastic change than a point mutation
Nerve cells because skin cells keep dividing when you loose skin. Epithelial cells also divide when you loose others.
Answer:
The diagram can be improved by:
Lungs
↓
oxygen
↓
Red blood cells (carrying oxygen)
↓
Organs (like stomach and liver etc) from where carbon
is taken and oxygen is supplied
↓
RBC's carrying Carbon dioxide to the lungs
The component which is missing in the diagram are the organs where exchange of gases occurs. The red blood cells carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to all parts of the body and carries the wast carbon dioxide gas from them back to the lungs. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled by the lungs.
