They emit radiation as they decay C

Answer: C. They emit radiation as they decay.

Explanation:

The radioactive isotopes are the elements that exhibit unstable and heavy nuclei. The isotopes disintegrate or decay by fission to form entities that exhibit stable nuclei. The radioactive elements are the parent atoms which disintegrate into daughter products and subatomic particles. This disintegration process liberates a lot of energy in the form of radiation like gamma rays. Hence, the type of radiation emitted by the disintegration or decay process of the radioactive isotopes can be useful to detect their elemental type and their origin.

A clastic rock composed of sand-sized grains derived from the physical weathering of granite and containing a sizable proportion
Vadim26 [7]
A clastic rock composed of sand-sized grains derived from the physical weathering of granite and containing a sizable proportion of feldspar is termed as arkose.  It is a sedimentary rock that has a composition of at least 25% feldspar. It is a type of sandstone that has a coarse texture and is commonly in gray or pink in color. The most important minerals in arkose are feldspar and quartz. And, it is quartz that is dominant in composition. This rock is formed from weathering of metamorphic or igneous rock that are rich in feldspar. They are to be quickly deposited into cold environments so as to avoid chemical weathering.

Rotenone is a drug which binds complex I of the electron transport chain and inhibits it from functioning.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

a) No; b) Yes; c) Down

Explanation:

a) No: Rotenone inhibits the transfer of electrons from complex I to CoQ of the electron chain by inhibiting the oxidation of NADH to NAD.

b) Yes: Besides receiving electrons from complex I, FADH2 receives electrons  from fatty acids and glycerol-3-phosphate. 2 ATPs are produced from FADH2.

c) Down: Less oxygen will be broken down (or consumed) to water, instead some of it will be converted to reactive oxygen species.
