Which process is the primary source for energy used by living organisms on Earth?
The answer is nuclear fusion!! (:
What is the difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells are not organisms?
Single celled organisms are examples of living cells that are organisms. Most other living cells are parts of living organisms, but could not survive long on their own.
What makes radiation dangerous to cells?
Nuclear radiation can be harmful to living things because the radiation can change a living thing's physical structure. The radiation can breakdown cell molecules, when this happens the cell cannot replicate itself. Because the cell is unable to replicate itself properly this can cause it to be more vulnerable to diseases such as cancer.
What is the difference between bacteria and living organisms?
No difference. Bacteria are living organisms.
How do living organisms help soil?
Living organisms provide nutrients for the soil.
Who are the scientist that studies radiation?
Scientists who study radiation are called radiologists or radiobiologists. They specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases using radiation, as well as studying the effects of radiation on living organisms.
Does the production of nuclear energy harm living things?
It can do if living organisms are exposed to too much radiation, but plants are designed and operated carefully so this does not happen, except in very rare accidents such as at Chernobyl
How does nuclear radiation effect the ocean?
Nuclear radiation doesn't affect the ocean itself, but the animals that live there. Just like any living thing, if an ocean animal is exposed to high level of radiations it might develop mutations, and/or cancer, leading to a painful death.
What gas shields living organisms from exposure to lethal unltraviolet radiation?
Ozone
Why is nuclear radiation useful?
I'm not sure this is really a meaningful question. It's a source of gamma rays, so if you need those, there you go. It also produces alpha and beta rays (depending on the exact nuclear decay involved), so again, if you need those, extremely useful.
Are living organisms a source of electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is common in living organisms. One example is infrared radiation (heat) given off by warm bodies. And we know that critters like sharks can sense magnetic fields generated electromagnetically by other critters they are searching for.
Is water filtered to remove debris and other living organisms?
It removed by electromagentic radiation
Does nuclear affect any living thing?
nuclear what? nuclear radiation affects virtually all living things. it is poisonous to virtually everything as it kills living cells and just like in a microwave oven which uses the same technology it will cook you from the inside out.
What can kill any living things but cannot seen?
Nuclear radiation is one invisible killer.
Which process is the primary source for energy used by living organisms on Earth?
The answer is nuclear fusion!! (:
