Biology
1 answer:
serg [7]3 years ago
3 0
In living things, there are 6 common elements that can be found: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus. Among these, the major ones are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

The most important of all that characterizes organic matter from the rest, is the presence of carbon. Carbon is a versatile element because it can bond to itself to an unlimited length. Because of this, it makes itself as host to other functionalities like hydroxide, amines and many more. The combination of a length of carbon chains with other of these major elements make up the basic compounds that our body needs. Compounds like carbohydrates, lipids, hormones, proteins and even our DNA and RNA strands are made up of these major elements.

The overall result of the proton-proton chain is that ________
Delicious77 [7]
Basically, the P-P chain turns 4 protons into: 1 neutrino, 1 gamma ray, 1 positron, 1 helium nucleus.
A gamma ray = energy.
The chain converts hydrogen into helium and makes energy.

This is all occurring through fusion reactions where 2 protons basically smash into each other. But, it could also be e.g. a proton smashing with a deuterium nucleus. Or, other nuclei smashing together to make something else.

Hope this helps!
