Answer 1

37. **A**. Both statements are true. Higher dose rates of radiation deliver more energy per unit of time, leading to more damage. The rapid delivery doesn't give cells enough time to repair the damage between energy depositions.38. **C**. Hair loss (alopecia) is a short-term effect of radiation exposure. The other options are long-term effects.
