The answer is "c" because solidification or freezing is the term used for the process in which a liquid becomes a solid.<span> Freezing is an exothermic process that also is an example of a phase transition</span>
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 through which an electrical current flows poorly would be said to be a poor conductor. That is, the substance has a low conductance (or conductivity). There’s a nuance between the two terms, but it shouldn’t matter for our purposes.
Since such a material resists the flow of electric charge, the material can be said to have a high resistance (or high resistivity).
Mathematically, resistance and conductance are reciprocals of one another; a low conductance implies a high resistance, and a high conductance implies a low resistance.
