DNA stands for Deoxyribo nucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid made up of monomeric unit called Nucleotide.

A nucleotide consist of -

a) Sugar - Deoxyribose in DNA ( ribose in RNA)

b) An organic base- Adenine, cytosine, guanine.

The highly energetic gamma particles can penetrate most compounds that stop by other types of radiation. However, lead, steel, or concrete can reduce the high energy of these particles, making them less penetrating.

Hence, Gamma radiation can be stopped by a several inches of lead or steel, or several meters of concrete.

In the early 1950s two scientists, Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, studied DNA using x-rays. Franklin produced an x-ray photograph that allowed two other researchers, James Watson and Francis Crick to work out the 3D structure of DNA. The structure of DNA was found to be a double helix.

The two broad categories of software in a computer are

1. System software
2. Application software

System software controls how the system works and enables user to access all of the system hardware and application software

The OS, utility programs and drivers come under system software.

Application software are software used by the user to perform specific task. They are installed according to the user's requirements.

The word processor, web browser, players, spreadsheets etc... come under this application software.

The three steps within the aerobic respiration process are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis builds glucose, and what was built in photosynthesis is broken down during aerobic respiration.

Hence, production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is the main result of aerobic respiration.
