ionising radiation can break molecules into ions. these ions take part in other chemical reactions in the body cells. for example these ionization can break the bonds in the DNA bases and cause mutations. or can interrupt with the processes like respiration that provides cell with energy. ionisation can also produce radicals that take part in other chemical reactions in the body like electric impulses from the brain and can damage the nervous system. hope that helps !)
What else can I help you with?
Which kind of radiation can penetrate clothing and skin to damage cells deep within a living body?
gamma
What term is used to describe the process of creating charged particles that can damage living cells?
Ionization creates charged particles that can harm living tissues.
What can only make new living cells?
Living cells.
Is ionisation enthalpy of potassium higher than that of sodium?
The ionisation enthalpy of potassium is lower than that of sodium.
Can damage cells of living things Blocked by Earths ozone layer?
No, they cannot be blocked. The Ozone layer can only block the UV rays of the sun.
What are the ionisation effects of x rays?
It can damage the tissue or make it malfunction. X rays can damage the embryo also.
Why is ionisation dangerous to your cells?
Ionization can lead to the formation of free radicals, which are highly reactive and can damage cellular components such as DNA, proteins, and cell membranes. This damage can disrupt normal cellular functions and lead to mutations, cell death, or even cancer.
What effect do radionuclides have on living things?
Radionuclides can be very hazardous to living things. It can damage the tissues and cause irreversible changes to the cells.
When living things starts to have trouble repairing damage to cells and body parts it is called?
The answer is homeostasis.
Which kind of radiation can penetrate clothing and skin to damage cells deep within a living body?
gamma
What term is used to describe the process of creating charged particles that can damage living cells?
Ionization creates charged particles that can harm living tissues.
How does the heating effect of absorbed radiation damage living cells?
well i was on here to find an answer but i found nothing, so they probably damage them by ionizing them causing cancerous cells or they can develop radiation sickness, this means the cells can have an abnormal cell, so when this divides it carrys on the chain.
Are cork cells living or non living cells?
non-living cells
How can you relate ionisation potential and ionisation energy?
Ionisation potential and ionisation energy are essentially the same concept - they both refer to the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or molecule. The terms are often used interchangeably in practice.
Does x rays kill living organisms?
No. Not in the dose level and duration used in diagnosis. Over-exposure can damage the cells though.
How long does trichomonas take to damage your cells?
Trich won't damage your cells.
Why cant we see living cells using an electron microscope?
Living cells cannot be directly observed using an electron microscope because the vacuum environment and electron beam can damage or destroy the biological material. Additionally, living cells contain a lot of water which would evaporate in the vacuum, leading to cell shrinkage and distortion. To observe living cells, techniques like cryo-electron microscopy or fluorescence microscopy are used.
