Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.
Debunking the other answers:
A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.
B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.
C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.
Thus, D is correct.
A substance that is impenetrable by x-rays is described as being radiopaque.
Radiopaque substances will not allow x-rays and or other forms of radiations to pass through them.
Instead, they absorb or block the rays and when used in radiology, they appear white or light gray on photographic films.
Radiopaque materials are applied in generating ultrasound images and other forms of clinical procedures.

<em>Displacement reactions</em>
The next test would be the lime water test.
Explanation:
If placing the gas in lime water will turn the solution milky, then the gas is most probably carbon dioxide, the lime water (Ca(OH)₂) turns milky due to the formation of solid CaCO₃ that is insoluble after reaction with carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide also puts out the flame in the splint test because it does not support combustion.
Answer:
Plants consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Answer: Photosynthesis
Animals consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
Answer: Respiration
