Since the radiation has no mass .It is Gamma radiation.

Step by Step Explanation:

Characteristics of Gamma radiation are as follows:

  • Gamma radiations are chargeless.
  • It is Electromagnetic wave having a very short wavelength.
  • It is not effected by the electric or magnetic field.
  • It has velocity equal to light in vaccum .
  • It has a very high intensity and can penetrate long distances.
  • It has a very low ionizing power. i.e. it does not ionize the medium in whic it travels.

Gamma radiation has proved itself to be very useful in radioactive treatment of cancer due to its high penetrating power.

For each glucose that enters glycolysis, _____ nadh enter the electron transport chain.
SIZIF [17.4K]
The answer is 10 NADH.
For each glucose molecule that enters glycolysis, a total of 10 NADH are produced.
That is; during glycolysis 2 NADH are produced, while another two are produced in the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl-CoA, and in the Citric acid Cycle 6 NADH are produced, that makes a total of 10 NADH, which are then taken to the electron transport chain to produce ATP.

When neurons "fire," the first thing that happens is that sodium ions enter the cell. this does not require an input of energy.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer;

One can infer that membrane transport proteins are required in order for neurons to fire.

Explanation;

Transport proteins are proteins that transport substances across biological membranes. Transport proteins are found within the membrane itself, where they form a channel, or a carrying mechanism, to allow their substrate to pass from one side to the other.

-Transport proteins transport materials such as; ions such as sodium and potassium; sugars such as glucose; proteins and messenger molecules; and many more. In neurons, they  play a fundamental role in the functioning of nerve cells. These transporters, a third class of membrane transport proteins, move a wide variety of ions and molecules across cell membranes.
