Very, very rare. Uranium used in power plants is typically only 3% U-235 (the explosive stuff), while bomb-grade uranium is nearly pure U-235. Simply, the concentration of U-235 in reactor-grade uranium is too small to start a chain reaction and detonate like a bomb.

Anna often finds that she becomes drowsy in the afternoons. The warmer her classroom is, the harder she finds it to stay awake.
Butoxors [25]

Her metabolism reduces so as to reduce the amount of heat the body is producing. This reduces the risk of overheating/hyperthermia. During metabolism, approximately 60% of the energy produced is released as heat. This coupled with the high temperatures in the classroom increases her core temperatures. Due to the reduced metabolism, Anna feels sleepy since the body processes become slow in a homeostatic feedback response.

How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Products of photosynthesis are used in cellular respiration

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process performed by the plants (also some algae and bacteria) in which the energy of sunlight is transformed into chemical energy usable by those plants. Necessary components of this set of reactions are sunlight, water and CO2, while resulting products are glucose and oxygen. Products of photosynthesis are then used in the metabolic processes known as cellular respiration. During the cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are used for the production of ATP, CO2 and water. Cellular respiration is performed in mitochondria of all living organisms.

Photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast, membrane organelles with photosynthetic pigments (such as chlorophyll).
