Why is ionizing radiation dangerous?
Ionizing radiation by definition is radiation with a high enough energy to remove electrons from their orbits. This is dangerous because it emits x-rays, damages tissue, can cause long term damage like cancer, and heats things up.
What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
What form of ionizing radiation can deeply penetrate into body tissue?
Gamma radiation, X Rays
What form of ionizing radiation can penetrate deeply into the body tissue?
alpha
what cells types are least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage?
Cells that do not have a nucleus
What is an Radiation Sickness?
Radiation poisoning, also called radiationsickness or a creeping dose, is a form of damage to organ tissue due to excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.
Which type of radiation is most likely to damage DNA ionizing or nonionizing?
Ionizing

How do radiation therapy work?
Exposing tumors to ionizing radiation kills them faster than it kills nearby healthy tissue. If you can focus or otherwise concentrate the radiation on the tumor the effect is even stronger. The reason for this effect is tumors generally grow much faster than healthy tissue, and ionizing radiation damages growing tissue much more significantly than tissue that is not actively growing. This damage should kill it.

Cancer and related diseases are caused due to primary radiation or secondary radiation or non ionization radiation or ionization radiation?
Cancers are caused by uncontrolled growth of tissue. Most commonly caused by environmental chemicals. Or fine fibres such as Asbestos or very fine glass. Ionizing radiation can cause cancers IF the damage it does then goes on to produce an unwanted growth of tissue.
