5 0

Answer:

Option B, can be used to either sterilize or pasteurize, depending on the dose of radiation

In general gamma radiation is used for sterilization purposes which disrupts the sub-atomic particles involved in the formation of the microorganism at an early stage by damaging their genetic material such as DNA or RNA with in their cells. Once the genetic material i.e DNA or RNA is damaged, the cell dies automatically.  

Hence, option B is correct

leonid [27]
Digestion, Absorption, Circulation, Diffusion, Synthesis. 

Digestion begins as soon as you put food in your mouth and begin chewing it, so it is the first step. Absorption happens when food is converted into substances that can be absorbed by your GI tract. Circulation is where those nutrients are circulated in your lymphatic and circulatory system (blood). Diffusion moves oxygen through your blood stream where it gets diffused. S<span>ynthesis converts nutrients that have been diffused and absorbed in your blood. </span>

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The person’s urine will have a high specific gravity

Explanation:

A high specific gravity is characterized by an increased concentration of solutes in the urine of am individual. A low specific gravity is characterized by a low or decreased concentration of the solutes.This is usually due to dehydration as a result of environmental conditions or tedious physical activities.

This explains why a person who had not drank any water for 8 hours and is dehydrated before collecting a sample is thought to have a urine with a high specific gravity
