Of the babies that survive, however, few will have birth defects related to the exposure, regardless of how much radiation they were exposed to. Large radiation doses to the fetus during the more sensitive stages of development (between weeks 2 and 18 of pregnancy) can cause birth defects, especially to the brain.

HOPE THAT HELPED :)

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Myosin

Explanation:

Myosin are the major components of both muscle and non muscle cells in striated muscles which is responsible for contraction or movement that convert chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical work thereby generating force and movement.

During cellular movement , myosin filament will be the ones that are responsible for attaching and pulling the other filaments along because Myosin binds to actin at a binding site on the globular actin protein,it also have ATP binding sites which hydrolyses ADP to ATP , ATP binding causes myosin to release actin, which make actin and myosin to detach from each other thereby causing attachment and contraction of other filaments

Answer: Read my explainantion;)

Explanation:

The key thing to remember is that biochemistry is the chemistry of the living world. Plants, animals, and single-celled organisms all use the same basic chemical compounds to live their lives. Biochemistry is not about the cells or the organisms. It's about the smallest parts of those organisms, the molecules.

The human eye can detect wavelengths between 400 nm and 700 nm. The sky appears blue (490 nm) due to the scattering of visible l
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

In the electromagnetic spectrum, the visible spectrum is the part, which is perceptible to the human eye. The electromagnetic spectrum in this array of wavelengths is known as simply light or the visible light. A general human eye will react towards the wavelengths in the range between 380 to 740 nm. A human eye sees the sky as blue that comes in the wavelength 490 nm because of the scattering of the visible light by the particles in the atmosphere. This concludes that 490 nm is the sole wavelength, which is reaching the eye.
