What reaction fuels the burning of the sun?

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.

Cells need to bring in molecules to carry out cellular processes. Often, this requires moving the molecules across the cell memb
aniked [119]

Answer:

B (active transport using ATP)

Explanation:

Movement of substances normally occur in the direction of concentration gradient/difference i.e. the difference in concentration of a substance across a membrane. Letting molecules diffuse or pass down their concentration gradient does not require energy but pumping those molecules against gradient requires energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is called Active transport.

In order to perform certain cellular processes, cells need to move substances from their surroundings into the cell across their cell membrane. Moving this substances against the concentration gradient between the cell membrane and its extracellular fluid requires energy (ATP).

An example is the sodium-pottasium pump employed by animal cells in which they expend energy to move K+ molecules into the cell and Na+ molecules outside the cell against the concentration gradient of their cell membrane and extracellular solution.

How the seeds got to a place away from the tree
Veronika [31]

There are quite a few ways that seeds can be dispersed. A few examples could be by wind (like dandelions), water (like water lilies or coconuts), or animals (through friut eaten by birds or other animals).
