INTRODUCTION Radiations are energy in the form of waves or particles. They are of two forms‚ ionizing radiations and non-ionizing radiations. Ionizing radiations are radiations of short wavelength and high energy which causes atoms to ionize. Examples of ionizing radiations includes: x-rays‚ gamma rays‚ ultra violet radiation. Non-ionizing radiations are radiations of long wavelengths and low energy. Examples of non ionizing radiations includes infra-red rays and visible lights e.t.c Effects of ionizing

ACTIVITY ONE- Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion because the bigger the size of the molecule the longer it will take to diffuse. Membrane size is another variable that affects the rate of diffusion because if the membrane’s pores are small it will take molecules longer to diffuse though it than if the pores were larger. Also‚ membrane thickness

The two neurotransmitters that are believed to be the most associated with aggression are low levels of serotonin and high levels of dopamine. These two chemicals allow impulses to be transmitted to another area; therefore all behaviours are influenced by neurotransmitters. There is also the influence of the amygdala‚ which controls the emotional responses‚ the hypothalamus‚ which coordinates both the autonomic nervous system and the activity of the pituitary and the frontal cortex. Normal levels
