How do alpha and beta particles get into the body?

Biology
1 answer:
laila [671]4 years ago
6 0

Hello!

While they do not penetrate very far into the body, they can indeed get through.

Commonly, materials that emit alpha, beta or gamma radiation get  into the body alone or with other materials which have may become contaminated.

Here are some ways these could get in:

Through breathing; It could be in the air or mixed with dust, which is in the air.

Drinking; It disolves in water, meaning the material could get in your body without you knowing.

In the soil; If soil is contaminated, and plants grow in that soil, you will get a small ammount of alpha and beta particles.

Lastly, animals; Plants and animals can become contaminated, the particles coud be taken in through consumtion.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

What is the meaning of photosynthesis ​
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other things make food.It is an endothermic (takes in heat) process.Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.

Explanation:(what happens in this process)

-Sunlight energy is converted into chemical energy by using chlorophyll.Gives plants their green color to the plants.

- Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light and uses the energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose.

- Plants convert sugar and energy from water, air and sunlight into energy to grow

- formula for photosynthesis :  6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy

-formation of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and a source of hydrogen in the chlorophyll-containing cells (as of green plants) exposed to light.

- Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis .

-  plants breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.
