What are hormonal and physical changes?
Hormones are the chemical messengers in the body that travel the bloodstream to the organs and tissues. They work slowly and affect many of the body's processes over time. Endocrine glands, which are special groups of cells, make hormones. Where physical changes such as growth etc. are the ultimate results of these hormones.
What is the cell that converts chemical energy into electricity?
Batteries do this. Perhaps you are talking about biological cells. There are organisms that give off light, and these cells are referred to as fuel cells.
What Machine Changes energy of motion into electrical energy?
Solar Cells
What are some problems caused by exposure to prolonged radioactive decay?
I think in order to answer this question, we may basically understand the very basics of Radiation: Basically radiation consists of several types of subatomic particles, principally those called gamma rays, neutrons, electrons and alpha particles. That shoot through space at a very high speeds (something like 100,000 miles per second). They can easily penetrate deeply inside the human body damaging some of the biological cells (DNA, for example) which the body is composed. This damaging can cause a fatal cancer to develop. In case it reaches the reproductive cells, it can cause genetic defects in later generations of offspring. Answering to your question, this is dangerous and can cause several troubles to one's health (such as cancer and other fatal mutations).
The conversion of light energy into chemical bond energy occurs within the cells of?
algae
What is the process that cause changes in plant an animal cells?
Mutations cause changes in plant an animal cells.
What are four environment conditions that can cause food to spoilage?
Harmful bacteria, yeasts, mold, and natural chemical changes within the cells of the food
What is the science behind storing batteries in the freezer?
A cooler chemical is a little less likely to undergo chemical changes. Power cells, or batteries use chemical changes. Therefore, power cells or batteries are less likely to undergo chemical changes, including "wearing out" in the refrigerator. This is not of much concern with lithiums, but it is with the good ol' flashlight cells.
What are the chemical changes in the cells of an organism called?
nuclear reaction
One way that bacteria can cause disease is by breaking down and damaging of the infected organism?
cells or tissues
Where chemical reaction happen in a cell?
Chemical changes happen everywhere in a cell. Cells are chemical engines, everything they do is based on chemical reactions.
What do carcinogens do to normal cells?
the carcinogens change the molecule structure of the dna causing cancer inside the body , they make damaging and irreversible changes to a cells DNA. Carcinogens are things that make cancer worse by aggravating it
Which environmental changes can cause an increase in the rates of reactions in cells?
increased temperature
What type of chemical reaction is molding?
Molding is not a chemical process. Mold is a plant that grows in areas where it can get proper nutrition. Like other things, it absorbs nutrition and changes it to create energy. (Note: this is not photosynthesis.) There are chemical reactions within the cells that cause this energy, though, but this varies depending on the enzymes.
Why do astronauts have to worry about radiation in space causing changes or mutations in the DNA in their cells?
If they are not shielded from the damaging radiation of the sun the solar rays can penetrate the layers of the space station.
How does chemestry affect cancer?
Chemicals that do not cause cancer by themselves but can act with another chemical to cause cancer (cocarcinogens). Damage to DNA in cells can lead to cancer. ... Unrepaired DNA damage can lead to mutations, or changes, in genes, and mutations in certain genes can cause cancer. You can also inherit mutations.
Why can't animal cells perform the chemical reaction?
cause there immune system has an exceeding amount of t cells that over power the others and cause the disability to perform one.
