Can bugs like insects such as cockroaches survive nuclear bombs?
There is a possibility for a cockroach to live and die. A cockroach will die from the initial blast, meaning the cockroach will die from the fiery explosion. A cockroach will survive the radiation of the blast, but not the actual blast itself.
What plants could survive a nuclear blast?
none
What thing does Peter know can survive a nuclear blast?
Twinkies
How can you survive a nuclear blast?
only by being far far away
Could you survive a nuclear blast?
Only by being a safe distance away.
Can flys survive a nuclear blast?
Not within the 5 PSI max overpressure range.
Nuclear Holocaust-who should survive?
Anyone that has not been kiled in the blast, has a change on surving.
Why can cockroaches survive a nuclear explosion?
Cockroaches would out-survive humans when being exposed to increased levels of radiation. However, most other insects can out-survive cockroaches, and some microbes can out-survive insects. A reason most insects can endure high levels of radiation is that their cells divide less frequently. Radiation interferes with the way cells divide. Every division multiplies the damage caused by radiation. If a cell divides less frequently, accumulation of damage will occur with less speed. Insects are thus less affected by radiation.
Why would cockarocahes survive a nuclear blast?
Insects have higher LD50 for radiation exposure than mammals. LD50 is defined as the dose of something toxic that results in 50% fatality in the exposed group. However insects would have similar problems to mammals surviving the thermal effects.
Can anything survive a nuclear blast?
It is highly unlikely that anything directly at the site of a nuclear blast would survive due to the extreme heat, pressure, and radiation. However, some organisms like extremophiles have shown the capability to survive in extremely harsh conditions and may have a chance of surviving indirectly through protective mechanisms.
Do cockroach really survive during nuclear explotion?
Insects in general have a higher LD50 for ionizing radiation than do mammals. But nothing is unique about cockroaches. Other effects like the blast and heat will kill them as easily as anything else.
Can a scorpian survive a nuclear explosion?
No cockroaches are one of the few organisms able to survive nuclear explosions. Scorpions cannot.
