Rad biology Unit 2

QuestionAnswer
Define target The area that controls or carries out a cellular function
Define free radical A single unpaired orbital electron in the valence or outermost shell of an uncharged atom
Define Paulis exculsion principle If there is an odd number of electrons in an orbit, pairing cannot occur yielding a Free radical. free radicals occur only through indirect action of radiation
What is the symbol for hydrogen ion? H+
What is the symbol for hydroxyl ion? OH-
What is the symbol for hydrogen free radical H'
What is the symbol for an unpaired electron '
What is the symbol for hydroxyl free radical OH'
The more water a target has, the more what occurs interaction
List the 5 categories of reactions with free radicals? (All start with reaction of free radicals with) 1.Themselves 2.With water in which they are formed 3. with their own reaction porducts 4. with organic molecules 5. with oxygen
complete the equation of the reaction of free radicals with themselves 1.H' +OH'=H2O 2. H'+H'=H2 3. OH'+OH'=H2O2
complete the equation of the reaction of free radicals with water in whic they are formed 1. H'+H2O=H2O+H'
Complete the equations of the reaction of free radicals with their own reaction products 1.H2+OH'=H'+H2O 2.H2O+OH'=H2O+HO2' 3. HO2'+HO2'=H2O2+O2 4. HO2'+OH'=H2O+O2
Complete the equation of the reaction of free radicals with organic molecules 1.HO'+RH=R'+H2O2 2. HO2'+RH=RO'+H2O
How does hydration affect radiosensitivity and why? As a general rule, living systems containing little water are much less sensitive to radiation than organisms which exist in highly hydrated states
What 4 things can occur to a cell after direct or indirect action? 1. not be damaged 2. Be damaged but repair itself 3. be damaged and change function 4. be damaged and die
Give the equation for radiolysis of water (direct action) H2O----> H2O+ + e-
Give the equation for radiolysis of water(indirect action) e- + H20----> H2O
What is the symbol for a negative ion e-
What is the difference between direct and indirect action of radiation of the cells? direct-is a change brought about in any given molecule by radiation through direct ionization or excitation and indirect is a change produced in molecules when they react with other molecules that have been directly ionized or excited by radiation
What percent of the cell in composed of water 70%-80%
When cells are irrated , most of the energy transfer goes to what water

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
