Biological Effect Mechanisms of Damage Injury to living tissue results from the transfer of energy to atoms and molecules in the cellular structure. Ionizing radiation causes atoms and molecules to become ionized or excited. These excitations and ionizations can: * Produce free radicals. * Break chemical bonds. * Produce new chemical bonds and cross-linkage between macromolecules. * Damage molecules that regulate vital cell processes (e.g. DNA‚ RNA‚ proteins). The cell can repair
