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.

"ricin inhibits the functioning of ribosomes. What part of protein synthesis would be affected by ricin? What effect would this
kondor19780726 [428]

Ricin comes under the category of functionally related toxins, in a combination known as RIPs (ribosome inactivating proteins). This disables ribosomes and stops the process of protein synthesis.  

They directly associate with and inactivate the ribosomes or modify the factors taking part in the process of translation, generally the elongation step. These proteins bring about depurination of adenine at position 4324 in the 28 S rRNA.  

This further inhibits the generation of a critical-stem-loop configuration to which the elongation factor is considered to combine at the time of the translocation step of translation. The ultimate outcome of this activity is the complete inhibition of cellular translation.
