If an organism grows in the OF-glucose medium that is exposed to air is the organism osidative or fermentaive?
The organism will be Oxidative because it is exposed to the air, fermentation will occur in an anaerobic enviornment, meaning in the absence of oxygen.
People who have been exposed to excessive radiation often experience mutations If these mutations only occur in somatic body cells these people may?
experience an increased risk of cancer
Why dont all mutations cause cancer?
Mutations in the DNA can cause cancer, but it's not the only cause of cancer. Did you know you can get cancer if you are exposed to coals and tars too long?
What is acquired immuniy?
acquired immuniy is when human body is exposed for the first time to an invader and learn how to fight back. B cells, T cells, Antibodies play a role in acquired immuniy
Which organism lives where it is sometimes submerged and routinely exposed to air heat battering waves and strong currents?
Sea star
A greater amount of DNA damage occurs when a living organism is exposed to a greater amount of a radioactive isotope. How might this affect the number of mutations acquired by the organ?
Answer this question… More mutations will be acquired, leading to more phenotypic changes.
If something is radioactive is it toxic?
Yes some things that are radioactive are toxic. Being able to harm an exposed organism.
Is a person who has been exposed to external radiation by definition radioactive?
No.
Why does a nuclear reactor have two coolant loops?
The primary loop is exposed to the radioactivity of the reactor, and so becomes radioactive itself. The secondary loop is not radioactive, and may be more exposed to the environment.
Is gasoline radioactive?
Oil is not generally radioactive unless it was originally located near radioactive material when it was extracted. More often, it only becomes radioactive when exposed to or stored near radioactive materials post processing.

What is the meaning of radioactive as a safety symbol?
The "radioactive" safety symbol warns you that radioactive material or a radiation producing machine is near the symbol and you should take precautions to ensure that you are not unnecessarily exposed to ionizing radiation.
