Certain attributes of ionizing radiation determine the extent to which different radiation modalities transfer energy into biologic tissue.  These characteristics are: Charge  Energy  Density 

A radiation dose of _____ may cause temporary sterility in both male and females.

In the human body, mineral salts are necessary for: Proper cell function Creation of energy Lubrication of the joints

Which of the following statement(s) is/are an accurate description of the interactions that can occur when water is ionized by radiation?HOH+  can recombine with e-  to form H2OH2O can combine with e-  to form HOH-HOH+ can break down into H+ and OH* HOH- can break down into OH- and H*

Lysosomes are also referred to as alternate names because their enzymes break down and digest not only proteins and certain carbohydrates, but they will also do the same to the cell itself should the lysosome’s surrounding membrane rupture. Exposure to radiation may induce such a rupture. When this occurs what will happen to the cell?

Ionizing radiation that causes the failure of the cell to start dividing on time is:

A nucleotide is formed from a: Nitrogen-containing organic base Seven-carbon sugar Phosphate molecule

Match each of the following cell components with it’s activity within the cell.  Each response will be used only once. 

Water performs all of the following roles except:

Ionizing radiation that directly hits which of the following macromolecules are considered to be a direct action?
