What type of gland does not branch before reaching the secretory portion?
A simple gland communicates with the surface by means of a duct that does not branch before reaching the glandular cells or secretory portion.
Is all electromagnetic radiation in the optical portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is visable?
Yes
What is responsible for absorbing the largest portion of incoming solar radiation?
Oxygen and ozone
Can radiation-feeding bacteria eliminate radiation?
Not yet. There are no known species that can eat fast enough to keep up with it, so a substrantial portion of the radiation always gets through.
How does the ozone layer help maintain ground-level air quality?
The ozone layer absorbs a large portion of incoming UV radiation, which keeps ground-level ozone from forming. A higher percentage of UV radiation entering the troposphere would allow a greater amount of ozone to form in the troposphere. Ozone is a pollutant in the troposphere. By regulating the amount of UV radiation that enters the troposphere, the ozone layer also regulates the amount of ozone formation in the troposphere.
What absorbs a portion of a radiation from the sun preventing it from reaching the earth's surface?
Generically the atmosphere absorbs portions of the Sun's radiation. In particular the Ozone layer absorbs a lot of UV radiations and of course water in the atmosphere (clouds) can blot out the Sun entirely.
What gas absorbes a large portion of ultravionlet radiation in the stratosphere?
Ozone gas absorbs it. It absorbs the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
The major portion of which form of solar radiation is absorbed as it passes through the atmosphere with only a tiny fraction of the original amount reaching the surface of the earth?
ground radiation
What type of gland does not branch before reaching the secretory portion?
A simple gland communicates with the surface by means of a duct that does not branch before reaching the glandular cells or secretory portion.
What kind of radiation is used by mobile phones?
Electromagnetic radiation, in the microwave portion of the radio spectrum.
What is the portion of gastrointestinal tract that absorbs water?
The large intestine is responsible for absorption of water.
What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma radiation
What occurs between visible light and a small portion of electromagnetic energy?
UV radiation and infrared radiation bb
Which is the definition of root?
That portion of a plant which grows into the earth and absorbs water and nutrients.The portion of a complex word containing suffixes and prefixes which expresses the base meaning of the term.
Is all electromagnetic radiation in the optical portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is visable?
Yes
What is responsible for absorbing the largest portion of incoming solar radiation?
Oxygen and ozone
Why can humans not see radiation?
because they are present at the invisible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
