What is the purpose of radiation in food industry?

Is it safe to consume irradiated foods

The purpose of radiation in food industries is to preserve food by using radiant energies. It is used to
extend the shelf life of food so that food can be stored longer.
Is it safe to consume irradiated foods
“Food radiation does not make foods radioactive”- u.s department of agriculture. Food that goes
through the radiation process is safe for consumption, this is because the radiation process reduces
bad microbes so that it is safe for consumption.

Why is CO2 called one of the greenhouse gases?

like the glass of a greenhouse, they let visible light from the sun pass through the atmosphere but they
absorb long-wavelenght infrared energy from the earth and keep the atmosphere warm”-
paleontological research institution.

Diamond is also made of carbon. Can the carbon dating technique be used to determine the
age of a diamond? Explain why or why not
Even though diamond is primarily made of carbon, we can not used carbon dating technique to
determined the age of diamond because diamond typically has ages of million years to billion years
old and carbon dating technique is too short to be useful to determined diamond ages ( The half-life of
C-14 is known to be approximately 5,730 years. Let’s round it up to 6,000 years for simplicity).

Carbon dioxide is known as a greenhouse gas because though it is transparent to

sunlight, it traps heat and contributes to the overall increase of earth’s temperature.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of several greenhouse gases in the

atmosphere. They are referred to as greenhouse gases because, like the
glass of a greenhouse, they let visible light from the Sun pass through the
atmosphere but they absorb long-wavelength infrared energy from the
Earth and keep the atmosphere warm.
Nitrogen, oxygen and argon together make up close to 100 percent of the
atmosphere. But all three are invisible to incoming "short-wave" radiation
from the sun and outgoing "long-wave" radiation from the Earth's surface.
They play no role in regulating the planet's atmospheric temperature

Diamond is also made of carbon. Can the carbon dating technique be used to determine the age of a
diamond? Explain why or why not

Even though diamond is primarily made of carbon, we can not used carbon dating technique to
determined the age of diamond because diamond typically has ages of million years to billion years
old and carbon dating technique is too short to be useful to determined diamond ages ( The half-life
of C-14 is known to be approximately 5,730 years. Let’s round it up to 6,000 years for simplicity).

Although diamond is composed primarily of carbon, it can- not be carbon-dated since the
half-life of carbon is too short (atmospheric 14C decays to 14N with a half-life of only 5,700
years) to be useful for any geological material such as dia- mond that typically has ages on
the order of millions to billions of years.

the experts explain that even though gem-quality diamonds are nearly pure lattices
of carbon and carry very little information about their ages and origins, lower-
grade specimens harbour imperfections in the form of tiny pockets of liquid, which
are remnants of the more complex fluids from which the crystals evolved
Why is photosynthesis considered an endothermic reaction ?
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction because sunlight energy is absorbed during the
process of photosynthesis by the plants.
And our definition says that when in a reaction heat is absorbed it is termed as endothermic
reaction
In this process, plants use the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into
glucose and oxygen. This reaction requires 15MJ of energy (sunlight) for every kilogram of
glucose that is produced:
Sunlight+6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)⟶C6H12O6(aq)+6O2(g)
