Answer:

Photon radiation

A high-energy photon beam is by far the most common form of radiation used for cancer treatment. It is the same type of radiation that is used in x-ray machines, and comes from a radioactive source such as cobalt, cesium, or a machine called a linear accelerator (linac, for short).

The speed of radioactive particles is also an important factor in medical use. Beta particles travel very fast. This, combined with their small size, gives them significant penetrating power. In cancer treatment, for example, beams of beta particles can be created outside the patient's body and directed at tumors.

Suppose molecules were unable to diffuse into and out of the cells. How might life be different if cells had to use active trans
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Cells would most probably not exist because these units of life metabolize energy molecules like glucose to harness their energy for the running of biochemical processes, like active transport, to support life. However, harnessing this energy from these energy molecules is NOT 100 percent efficient. A higher percentage of energy is lost as heat in the process.

Therefore if the cells were required to carry all molecules in and out of the cell, actively, including the energy molecules themselves (which is counterintuitive), this would require a lot of energy and would be unsustainable. This would be analogical to the counteracting and infinite loop of more fuel needed to carry the mass of the more fuel in space travel...

The graph pictured shows bacterial growth, in a petri dish, in which no additional resources are added over time.
kipiarov [429]

The graph pictured shows bacterial growth, in a petri dish, in which no additional resources are added over time, The graph pictured shows bacterial growth, in a petri dish, in which no additional resources are added over time.

<h3>How does the bacteria actually grow in the petri dish?</h3>

Sterile powdered agar with nutrients can be mixed with moisture, heated and then rushed into empty petri plates or ready-to-use dishes can be purchased.

The undigestible agar is a gelatin-like substance with a semi solid surface on which the bacteria can grow while they engulf the added nutrients

Thus, option "D" is correct.
