Do bananas contain radiation?

2 answers:

<span>You are right in that bananas contain potassium and K-40 is a naturally occurring potassium isotope AND the K-40 in an average banana does decay at a rate of about 31 ATOMS per second (half-life is > 1 billion years). This is an extremely low level of radiation and nothing to worry about. Bananas will definitely NOT cause a "nuclear winter."</span>

Banana does but it contains a low amount of radiation. So low it does not affect us when we eat it

DNA sequences can act as "tape measures of evolution". Some highly conserved regions of the human genome (similar to comparable

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

The DNA contains many regulatory sequences that are very important, even though they do not code for proteins.

For example, the expression of every gene is regulated by a region called the Promoter. The promoter sequence, located close by the coding region of the gene, usually binds the RNA polymerase (the enzyme that transcribes genes into mRNA) as well as other proteins necessary for transcription,

The promoter sequence, thus, does not itself code for proteins, but is essential for transcription and must be highly conserved so that the RNA polymerase can find it.

The map of a walking trail is drawn on a coordinate grid with three points of interest. The trail starts at R(−2, 4) and goes to

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The total length will be "10 units". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given points are:

R(−2, 4)

S(3, 4)

T(3, −1)

On applying the distance formula,

⇒ $RS=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(4-4)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(0)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{25}$

⇒ $=5 \ units$

and,

⇒ $ST=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-1-4)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{0+(-5)^2}$

⇒ $=5 \ units$

Now,

The total trail length will be:

= $RS+ST$

= $5+5$

= $10 \ units$

Ed was in a bicycle accident, he had no sensations in his injured leg. He can move the limb normally. Based on the functional cl

____ [38]

There are two types of neurons in our legs: motor neuron and sensory neuron. These send and receive messages to and from each other and the brain.

After Ed's accident, he can't move his injured leg since the motor neuron is dysfunctional. The sensory neuron is functional so he can feel his limbs but can't move them since when the sensory neuron sends a message to the motor neuron, it isn't able to deliver the message to the brain to make the leg move. This is why he can still feel his limbs but is not able to move them.
