Anime absorbers

Animals. Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, rapidly metabolized and quickly and completely eliminated from the body Plants. Rapidly degraded Soil. Dissipates rapidly. DT50 4.2-9.5 days. No leaching potential... 

Animals. Absorbed rapidly and distributed uniformly among all organs and tissues. More than half of the radioactivity was rapidly eliminated from the body, mainly via urine and respiratory air. Radioactivity remaining in the animal was incorporated into endogenous compounds (carbon-1 pool) and eliminated with the natural turnover of these compounds. 

Very young animals absorb more uranium into their blood than adults when they are fed uranium. We do not know if this happens in children. 

Sea water is a very complicated solution of many substances. The main dissolved component of sea water is sodium chloride, common salt. Besides sodium and chlorine, the main elements in sea water are magnesium, sulfur, calcium, potassium, bromine, carbon, nitrogen, and strontium. Together these 10 elements make up more than 99% of the dissolved materials in the oceans. In addition to sodium chloride, they combine to form such compounds as magnesium chloride, potassium sulfate, and calcium carbonate (lime). Animals absorb the latter from the sea and build it into bones and shells. 

Plants and animals absorb toxic substances however, their affinity may be higher or lower, and the substances may concentrate in various organs... 

A 3.6-kg laboratory animal receives a single dose of 8.92X10 Gy. (a) How many rads did the animal receive (b) How many joules did the animal absorb ... 

Animals absorb carbon by ingesting plants or other animals. The ratio of —the most abundant stable isotope of carbon— to in a living system remains constant. Upon death, however, ingestion stops and the which is always undergoing radioactive decay, is no longer replaced in the cells. 

One point of concern has been the possible absorption of lead ingested by ruminant animals (cattle and sheep), with subsequent incorporation into the muscle or milk. It appears, however, that such animals absorb lead in the alimentary tract only very inefficiently, about 99% being excreted in the faeces [11]. Hence concentrations of lead in meat and milk can be very little affected. The mean concentrations of lead in meat and fish in the UK is 0.17 mg kg (range <0.01-0.70 mg kg" ) and in milk 0.03 mg kg (range <0.01-0.08 mg... 

Other dietary minerals—Zinc-deficient animals absorb five times as much inorganic chromium as those given zinc supplements. Other minerals that appear to interfere with the absorption and/or the utilization of chromium are calcium, iron, and manganese. Thus, the taking of supplements which contain large doses of these minerals may contribute to the development of a chromium deficiency. 

Animals absorb and transport large quantities of lipids. A major challenge is posed by the solubility characteristics of lipids. Because they are essentially insoluble in water, they must be packaged in order to move through an aqueous environment. Since many lipids are amphipathic (have water-soluble and water insoluble moieties), they have detergent-like properties that can be harmful to membranes.
