Given what we know, we can confirm that both gamma rays and x-rays can be used to slow the decay process in foods.

<h3>What are gamma rays and x-rays?</h3>

Both of these are forms of ionizing radiation.
Applying these to food is known as food irradiation.
What this accomplishes, is that the food that is irradiated will have its chemical bonds altered, slowing the decay process.

Therefore, since both gamma rays and x-rays offer ionizing radiation to the food, which affects the chemical bonds and allows the food to have a longer shelf life, we can confirm that they can be used to slow the decay process in foods.

using what have you learnt about the effect of concentration gradient and surface area to volume ratio, explain the adaptations

Answer:

thanks

Explanation:

Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gaseous exchange.

They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out. Although these design features are good for photosynthesis, they can result in the leaf losing a lot of water. The cells inside the leaf have water on their surface. Some of this water evaporates, and the water vapour can then escape from inside the leaf.

When water evaporates from the leaves, resulting in more water being drawn up from the roots, it is called transpiration.

To reduce water loss the leaf is coated in a waxy cuticle to stop the water vapour escaping through the epidermis. Leaves usually have fewer stomata on their top surface to reduce this water loss.

Leaves enable photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is the process by which leaves absorb light and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (food) for plants to grow. Leaves are adapted to perform their function, eg they have a large surface area to absorb sunlight.

Plants have two different types of 'transport' tissue, xylem and phloem. These specialised tissues move substances in and around the plant.
