_____ occurs if the initial ionizing incident takes place on a distant noncritical molecule, which then transfers the ionization of energy to another molecule.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Indirect interaction occurs when the initial ionizing incident occurs on a noncritical molecule, which then transfers the ionization energy to another molecule. This can lead to the formation of free radicals and other reactive species that can cause DNA damage and other cellular effects. Direct interaction, on the other hand, occurs when the ionizing radiation directly interacts with the target molecule, such as DNA. Interphase death and reduction division are not related to ionizing radiation interactions.
