The source of the sun's fuel is hydrogen and helium gases. Through a special chemical reaction, called nuclear fusion, the hydrogen gas is "burned" releasing an enormous amount of energy in the form of light and heat.

Answer:

Nuclear fusion reaction

Explanation:

The nuclear fusion process refers to the condition when two nuclei of smaller atoms are combined with one another to form a heavy nucleus, resulting in a large amount of energy.

This process takes place extensively in the core of the sun that helps the sun in burning, releasing a significant amount of heat energy.

This fusion reaction emits photons of higher energy, which are commonly known as the gamma rays, and it subsequently travels through the radiative layer of the sun that surrounds its core.

The reaction of nuclear fusion thereby results in the conversion of hydrogen into helium as well as helps in the conversion of mass into energy.

The law of_____

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is - segregation.

Explanation:

The law of segregation states that out of two factors or alleles of a gene located in an organism, only one allele or factor is distributed to each sperm cell or egg cell (gamete) randomly, So, the segregation of the alleles are random and only one allele is distributed to each gamete according to this law.

The law of segregation helps in making a different combination of alleles in a particular species or population and leads to variation in genetics. It makes sure that traits distribute to each generation randomly.

How does paving and concreting areas affect watersheds?

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

As the amount of impervious paved surfaces increase, watersheds become more vulnerable to pollutants. When rains fall on a conventionally paved impervious surface, the precipitation is generally directed down storm drains, which can result in flooding and overwhelming the storm water management system.

VladimirAG [237]

i believe that the cell will expand because there is less sugar in the water. if you were to add more sugar into the water, then the cell will shrink in size because sugar and salt is the same thing if you add it in water.
