Well, let me try to improve this answer a little... Atomic spectroscopy is, primarily, the science that investigates the interaction of electromagnetic radiation (such as X-rays, ultra-violet and visible light) with atoms, usually by means of absorption or emission. These principles of interaction can be combined in an instrument called "spectrometer" that, finally, can be used to quantify several elements of the Periodic Table in all kinds of sample that you can imagine, from water to rocks. This is usually done by associating the amount of energy absorbed or emitted by an atom or atom cloud to the quantity of atoms in a given sample (or, indirectly, to the concentration of the element in that sample). The most usual techniques associated to atomic spectroscopy are atomic absorprtion spectrometry, optical (or atomic) emission spectrometry and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Hope that helps... Atomic Spectroscopy is the determination of elemental composition by its electromagnetic or mass spectrum.
Sorry if this wasn't the exact answer you're looking for, but it was the only thing I could find. It took me FOREVER to find the answer to this question for a school project I was doing. I hope this is what you need!!! >Smile< :-)

What is the process that makes food available to your body is called what?
Absorption.
What process lets food enter the cells of an organism?
Absorption
What do intestinal cells do?
They maximise absorption of digested food into the blood
What is the process of soluble food substances crossing the gut lining?
absorption
What is the function of the villie for absorption?
The villie is stored in your stomach to squash down food.
The movement of digested food into the blood or lymph is?
absorption. Mastication is chewing the food and Deglutition is swallowing
Do hot spices prevent the absorption of bacteria from food?
No, hot spices will not prevent absorption of bacteria from food, nor will it prevent bacteria from growing on the food.
Has does food effect the absorption of alcohol?
A high fat meal will slow the absorption of alcohol.
What does villi serve to?
Absorption of digested food.
Cephalosporin before or after food?
Cefuroxime (2nd generation) best given with food for better absorption .others may be given with or without food.generally food increase absorption of the three generations of chephalosporins
What is the process of transferring digested food into the bloodstream?
some one help me
How deos a fungus get food?
By absorption after extracellular digedtion .
Is the major absorption site for food?
The small intestine
How is assimilation different from absorption of nutrients of digested food?
Absorption is whereby the digested food substances are entering our bloodstream. Assimilation is whereby the body makes use of these absorbed food substances that has entered our blood
What allows food particles to pass form the intestine to the circulatory system called?
Absorption is the process that allows food to move from the small intestine to the blood stream. Absorption is critical because it allows the nutrients to be used by cells throughout the body.
What is the process of absorption?
Adsorption is the process by which a gas dissolves into the surface of a solid, which will normally be metal. There are actually two types of absorption. Adsorption and Absorption ABsorption actually happens in the digestive process.
How would the absorption of food in the cells of small intestine be affected by a lack of folds?
There would be much less surface area for the digestion and absorption, so digestion and absorption would be slowed by a lot.
