Answer:

3) they lose energy at a varying rate - is the correct answer.

Radioactive decay is defined as the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses its energy by emitting radiations. The decay is random and cannot be predicted earlier.

Answer:

1) They release energy.

Explanation:

The radioactive decay of chemical elements is a phenomenon in which the unstable nucleus of an atom disintegrates becoming a more stable nucleus, but due to the decay, particles such as alpha and beta particles among others are released.

A Radioactive decays releases energy (it is important to remember that energy is not created or destroyed, only transformed), in order to move from a non-stable nucleus to a more stable one.

The radioactive decay has an exponential decay, which means that it is reduced steadily over time, and this depends on the element.

The statemente that best describes what happens to elements during radioactive decay is: 1) They release energy.

valina [46]

ADP is combined with a phosphate to form ATP in the reaction ADP+Pi+free energy→ATP+H2O. The energy released from the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP is used to perform cellular work, usually by coupling the exergonic reaction of ATP hydrolysis with endergonic reactions.

A gene includes the sequence AGAACT. When it is transcribed, what will the RNA sequence be? A. UCUUGA B. UGCCGU C. UCUUTC D. TCT

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct option would be A.

<em>According to the base-pairing rule, Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T) (or Uracil in the case of RNA) while Guanine (G) always pairs with Cytosine (C).</em>

Hence;

A-U

G-C

A-U

C-G

T-A

Therefore, AGAACT would be transcribed to UCUUGA.

During periods of intense exercise, cells do not receive enough oxygen to perform the normal process of aerobic cellular respira

Wewaii [24]

Answer: for me the best option is D.

Explanation: lets explain this.

Cellular respiration begins with a process that divides the glucose within the cells making it readily available as a source of energy. This process can occur without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) or in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration). Anaerobic respiration generates more excess waste (lactate) than aerobic . Besides, high levels of lactate build within the muscle cells. Excess lactate slows the cellular respiratory process and is experienced as a burning sensation in the muscles if exercise continues.
