A Summary Of NASA To TEST Radiation Effects On Plant Growth

Science has many contrasting categories such as biology, chemistry, physics, and earth physical science. In this reading, there are two main points; biology and chemistry/physics. Biology is basically means the study of life (The Greek word bio means life and the Greek/Latin word logy means study. Together the root words forms the word biology.). For this case, biology is about the plants’ life. It includes how the plant grows, location, environment, how much sunlight they need and how hydrated are they need to be. There are billions and billions of different types and species of plants in the world. For instance, there are flowers, trees, bushes, fruits and vegetables. Each plant is different; they are located in different environments. Some plants don’t require as much water as others do. For example, cactus lives in the desert since they live in the desert, they don’t require as water as plants that live in the tropical rainforest. Physics and chemistry both relate to radiation. Radiation can be found in all different sources such as microwaves, phones, the sun and etcetera. There’s a particular type of radiation that

In the article, NASA TO TEST MICROWAVE EFFECTS ON PLANT GROWTH written by Brian Dunbar stated that “Microwaves are a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes energy frequencies from x-rays to visible light and radios.” This quote is saying that microwaves still have to do with electromagnetic spectrum except that it has a small part. Microwaves have an energy frequency that ranges from x-rays to visible light. Also, “Microwaves derived from solar power and transmitted by orbiting satellites to electric energy self-sufficiency…” (Dunbar, 2004). This quote is saying that microwaves borrow energy from solar and later gives transfer it to the satellites in order to create electric
