Environmental Effects Of Radiation On Plants

In this review we will learn a lot of things about the effects of radiation in plants and some information about the plants and radiation. So as I go on my research I found out that, in moving from the water to the land, several living creatures had to subdue the number of problems. It must include the fortification against reproduction, fluid and nutrient transport, desiccation and ultraviolet radiation. So plants started from algae, it has been found in a long time photosynthesizing bacteria could have formed thins mats or stream turbulence to keep the ground wet. The first plants did not have a soil. Some early plants had branching, cuticles, stomata and photosynthesizing stems but no leaves. They also began to lift their fruiting bodies
First, a plant is affected by radiation by how much the organism receives, as well as long it is exposed. We can define visually if the plants have been damaged or not because it is observable and it changes in chromosome structure. It is also defined as the rate of the growth of organisms has been deducted. It affects the reproduction because it can make a less production rate in plants, and radiation can develop abnormalities or decrease in capability of offspring, reduced seed growth and lessening in life span. There are five types of radiation, first is the Alpha Radiation according to research it is essentially an ejected helium nucleus, it is substantial and has very short range particle. In alpha emitting if the resources are inhaled, swallowed or captivated through open wounds, it can be damaging to us humans. Traveling by air, it is not an external hazard and it travels a little distance. Second is the Beta Radiation, it is an ejected electron also it is a light short range particle. It can penetrate human skin and it may travel several feet the in the air because it is moderately penetrating. In clothing they provide a protection against beta radiation. Third is Gamma Radiation, it is a highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength of less than one-tenth of a nanometer. And it is one of the three types of natural radioactivity; with a sodium iodide detector probe gamma radiation is easily detected with this. Fourth is the X rays or X Radiation, it is like the gamma radiation with highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation and they are both forms of a higher frequency ionizing radiation, by that they can remove an electron from an atom or a molecule. It is also visible in light, radio waves and ultraviolet light; according to my research again the most energetic in having the amount of energy they have been the gamma rays and x rays. They are
