Answer:
Despite the risk of DNA damage and cancer production, X-rays are still used by doctors because the benefit of this diagnostic study outweighs the risk, which in most cases is very low.
Explanation:
Diagnostic radiology studies, such as X-rays and CT scans, are procedures that use ionizing radiation to obtain images of the inside of the body. Prolonged or constant exposure to this type of radiation is harmful because there is a risk of producing damage to DNA and can lead to the development of cancer.
However, the use of X-rays and CT scans are non-invasive diagnostic methods whose information provides an accurate diagnosis of a disease and, when well used, has a very low risk of organ damage.
Ionizing radiation is measured in milisieverts (mSv) and exposure from radiologic studies is in the range of 0.1 to 10 mSv per study. The amount of ionizing radiation a person is expected to receive per year from exposure to their environment is in the order of 3 to 5 mSv per year, so diagnostic imaging studies involve a low risk of organ damage.
Doctors continue to use X-rays as a diagnostic study, despite the risk of cancer and DNA damage, because the benefit —accessible, noninvasive, and cost-effective— far outweighs the risk.

A group of plant eating animals moves far away from their original population. In the new environment, the only edible vegetation grows at the top of tall trees. In order to survive, the animals need a new adaptation. Which of the following variations would be the most useful new adaptation to members of the group?
A) Wider, flatter teeth that can chew and grind plant material.
B) A longer neck to reach the vegetation that is high up in the trees.
C) A better digestive system for breaking down plant material.
D) Larger ears and eyes located on sides of head to detect predators.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The others would not help because the animals could not reach the vegetation.

Individuals with advantageous traits for their environment have a better chance of surviving
than those with less helpful traits. Explain how this is demonstrated in the moth information
above. Use specific information and examples.
Answer:
The moths with darker coloring lived long enough to reproduce and passed the trait on. The light peppered moths were easier for predators to spot on the dark soot covered trees so they died first.

What are magnetic field lines?
A. Lines that show the shape of a
magnetic field
B. Lines that show the path of electrons
C. Lines that show aligned atoms
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Magnetic field lines are a visual tool used to represent magnetic fields. They describe the direction of the magnetic force on a north monopole at any given position. The density of the lines indicates the magnitude of the field.

Describe how a carbon atom is released from a fossil fuel like coal and travels into the atmosphere as a gas. How does it then end up in living things like plants and animals? Explain how carbon ends up back in the ground. Use the following terms in your typed response: CO2, C6H12O6, atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, carbon sink, carbon source.
Explanation:
Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide (c02), this process is called respiration. Respiration happens when the plant/animal breaths in air and releases it as carbon, carbon then moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere where they are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power cities, power plants, cars, and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.

The image below shows part of the surface of a leaf.
0.1 mm x 0.1 mm
The length and width of this piece of leaf surface are both 0.1 mm
Calculate the number of stomata per mm of this leaf surface.
Explanation:
You didn't attach a picture so i'll just explain how to find the number of stomatas/mm^2.
first you find the surface by multiplying the length by the width
0.1*0.1=0.01mm^2
now you count the numer of stomatas in the picture
in0.01mm^2 you have.........................x stomatas
in 1mm you have ...............................y stomatas
y=100x

Infer If the rock layers shown above hare
not been disturbed, what type of dating
method would help you determine which
layer is oldest? Explain.
Answer:
radiometric dating methods
Explanation:
The oldest rock layer will be at the very bottom, and as time goes on, more layers will form making the top layer the youngest layer and the bottom layer the oldest. This method can determine the amount of radioactive decay of certain elements which can help them make a geologic time scale.

Question: How is it that traits can vary so much in the same family?
Answer: One component, called shared environment, includes all environmental influences that make children in a family similar to one another.
Explanation: Environmental variance not due to shared environment is called nonshared environment; this portion of environmental variance makes family members different from one another.

How does a bird develop?
Answer:
All birds start their lives inside an egg. When some birds hatch from the egg they are covered in downy feathers, and they are able to run around and find their own food. Many ground-living birds, such as pheasants and ducks, develop in this way.
What is one difference between natural selection and artificial selection?
a)Natural selection involves humans; artificial selection does not involve humans
b)Natural selection does not involve humans; artificial selection involves humans
c)Natural selection takes longer than artificial selection
d (Artificial selection only involves plants; Natural selection only involves animals
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Natural selection and selective breeding can cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. For this reason, selective breeding is sometimes called artificial selection.
