27. In 1986, a meltdown of a nuclear reactor in the city of Chernobyl, in Ukraine, released highly radioactive chemicals into th

e atmosphere. As a result, people suffered various forms of cancer because of exposure to these radioactive chemicals. Cancerous cells divide much more often than noncancerous cells and form tumors in the body.
(A) The radioactive chemicals burned people’s skin, which increased cell division rates in the people who developed cancer.


(B)The radioactive chemicals polluted people’s food, which changed some people’s ability to digest proteins and caused cancer.


(C) The radioactive chemicals caused structural changes in people’s genes, which changed how proteins functioned in cell division.


(D) The radioactive chemicals polluted people’s drinking water, which caused cells to divide more quickly in the people’s bodies and form tumors.

What planets have solid surfaces, few to no moons, and no ring systems? *
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Saturn. Saturn's rings are the most extensive ring system of any planet in the Solar System, and thus have been known to exist for quite some time. Galileo Galilei first observed them in 1610, but they were not accurately described as a disk around Saturn until Christiaan Huygens did so in 1655.

Explanation:

That's right, Venus (and the planet Mercury) are the only two planets that don't have a single natural moon orbiting them. Figuring out why is one question keeping astronomers busy as they study the Solar System.

B.
Homogeneous means one mixture, so like salt water. It looks like one mixture.
Heterogenous means different mixture. Comparable to a bag of Chex mix. So if the magnet can attract the pieces of Iron, it has to be a separable mixture. Compounds would require a chemical reaction to separate.
