The Air Force Interservice Manual 24-204 (AFMAN 24-204) definition of Hazardous Material is "A substance or material that is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported and has been so designated by this manual."
Nobel gases are commonly inert, but even those can be reacted with in the right circumstances.
If a cell can take in water, food molecules, and other necessary materials, it indicates that it is capable of active transport and endocytosis. These processes allow the cell to import vital substances to sustain its metabolic functions and maintain homeostasis. This capability is essential for growth, energy production, and overall cellular health.
Lysosomes are the organelles within cells that contain enzymes capable of breaking down and digesting harmful substances, such as toxins, pathogens, and waste materials. They act as the cell's "garbage disposal" system, helping to maintain cellular health and homeostasis.
Biological substances category B refers to materials that are known or reasonably expected to contain a pathogen. These substances are not in a form capable of causing permanent disability or life-threatening or fatal disease in otherwise healthy humans or animals when exposure to them occurs. They require appropriate packaging, labeling, and handling according to regulations for safe transportation.
Substances that are capable of being combined without separating into their individual components are said to be mixable or miscible. This property allows for the formation of homogeneous mixtures where the substances are evenly distributed at a molecular level.
Biodegradable refers to substances that can be broken down and decomposed by natural processes, such as bacteria or fungi, into simpler substances like water, carbon dioxide, and organic matter. Typically, biodegradable materials are environmentally friendly and do not accumulate in the environment.
