What are The three types of Carcinogens?
there is no such thing as carcinogensHA. That's complete crap. Carcinogens are cancer causing agents. A few are UV rays, cigarette smoke, radiation.
Describe the structure and function of the 4 subunits of ATP synthase?
ATP synthase is a multisubunit complex with four main parts, each made up of multiple polypeptides. Protons move one by one into binding sites on one of the parts, causing it to spin in a way that catalyzes ATP production from ADP and inorganic phosphate. The flow of protons behaves somewhat like a rushing stream that turns a waterwheel. ATP synthase is the smallest molecular rotary motor known in nature.
How do enymes dentature?
Denaturation is when the interactions that hold together the tertiary and secondary structure of the enzyme are disrupted causing it to lose its shape and thus its functionality. The primary structure (covalently linked amino acids) remains in tact, but other interactions like hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding and disulfide bridges are broken. High temperatures can cause denaturation among other things.
What does it mean to be pathogenic organism?
The word pathogen means to be disease causing.
What is the cell structure of rhizopus stolonifer?
It is a rot causing fungus. Black spores are visible to the eye on the surface of the substrate, which may look like black specs. The interesting looking fungi can appear on stale bread, damp leathers, and decaying fruits.
Why would heat make an aluminum bag shrivel?
It is not aluminum, it only appears metallic. It is a polymer plastic and when heated the molecular structure changes, causing it to shrink and deform.
What causes a chromosome inversion?
Inversion is caused by a) radiation causing the chromosome to break or b) two chromosomes entangling causing one to break. source yahoo answers
Why are network solids not ductile?
Network solids are organized in a crystalline structure at the molecular level, causing brittleness (inflexability). Ductily is usually associated with metallic bonding where electrons are freely shared among particles.
How do microwave ovens cook food?
AnswerMicrowave ovens heat and cook things put in them via the action of microwaves. Microwaves are a high frequency form of electromagnetic energy, and the frequency of the radiation (about 2.45 GHz) is such that the molecules in foods actually absorb some of the radiation. This dielectric heating causes the appearance of thermal energy within the atoms and molecules of the things put into the cavity (the cooking area) of the oven.On a molecular level, the structure of groups of atoms often leaves a molecule with a "slightly positive" side and a "slightly negative" side, or, said another way, a weak electrical two-pole structure -- a dipole. The microwave energy acts on the dipole (causing it to "resonate" or "vibrate" with the microwave) and transfers energy into the molecular structure. This energy is "tanslated" into the thermal energy (heat) that we desire when we "nuc" something in the oven.
What is the Aurora Borcalis?
the northen lights caused by the earths radiation causing the sun to flare due to radiation
What are carcinogens and what can cause them?
Carcinogens are cancer-causing things, including some chemicals and some types of radiation. The risk for their causing cancer can be brought about by smoking, by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, nuclear radiation, or to a wide range of toxic substances.
What property of heat is a food cooked in a microwave oven?
microwave is an electromagnetic wave in order of micrometer (one thousandth of meter). Because every electromagnetic wave is a radiation, microwave is radiation. Therefore, microwave oven which utilize microwave is transferring the heat via radiation.
What carcinogen is responsible for causing the most cancers?
Cigarette smoke
What are the effects of radiation fallout?
I've only heard of a nuke causing rads fallout, I included the link to wikipedia.
Why can't high temp 1200F soldering irons be used for silver soldering?
Because at that high of a temperature the solder's molecular structure breaks down and changes, and the solder becomes way to brittle causing a bad connection if you can even make one
Why can radiation kill us?
Radiation delivers lethal damage to cells in the body by destroying DNA and dissociating proteins along with other biochemical substances within those cells. It kills on the cellular level, and there is no medical intervention for extremely high doses of radiation. The damage is done in seconds, and a period of evolving tissue death follows lasting weeks or even just days.
Does ultraviolet radiation tan skin?
Yes, UV radiation is what causes you to tan. It also causes skin cancer. (The reason your body tans is to pretect itself from cancer causing UV radiation.)
