19
Q

The viscosity of a solution determines the degree of main chain scissions

A

Viscosity

20
Q

Some macromolecules have side structures that behave as though they have a sticky substance on their ends, and they attach to another macromolecule or to another segment of the same molecule.

A

Crosslinking

21

    a. organic free radical
    b. hydroperoxyl
    c. hydrogen peroxide
    d. DNA
A

c. hydrogen peroxide

22

23
Q
  • Free radicals can be damaging because they are _____.
    a. unstable
    b. highly reactive
    c. radioactive
    d. both A and B

24
Q

the process that creates energy for a cell by breaking down molecular nutrients that are brought to and diffused through the cell membrane

A

Catabolism

25
Q

the probability or frequency of the biologic response to radiation as a function of radiation dose. Disease incidence increases proportionally with dose, and there is no dose threshold.

A

Stochastic effect

26
Q

What is the difference b/w catabolism and anabolism?

A
  1. Catabolism is the breakup of large molecules into smaller molecules. Anabolism is the construction of large molecules from smaller molecules
28
Q

Name the 3 principle observable effects of DNA irradiation.

A

cell death, genetic damage, and malignant disease

29
Q

What is the difference b/w direct effect and indirect effect?

A
  1. A direct effect exists when the ionizing radiation interacts directly with the target molecule DNA. An indirect effect occurs when the interaction is with some other molecule, resulting in the formation of free radicals, which then transfer this excess energy to the DNA.
38
Q

*In what phase of the cell cycle does the DNA ladder open up in the middle of each rung and consist of only a single chain?

A
  1. Synthesis (S) phase
