The right answer is A) Nuclides of uranium-238 decay over time. They release a huge amount of nuclear energy when their nuclei break apart.

Uranium is a radioactive metal found in the earth's subsoil. Before it can be used as fuel in the reactors of nuclear power plants, it must be extracted and processed.

By using the radioactive properties of uranium, man produces electricity in nuclear power plants. A very educational animation that explains all the steps of the process.

It would be the statement "Nuclides of uranium-238 decay over time." that best explains why uranium-238 can be used in power plants to generate electricity. That is because as they decay and their nuclei break apart, they generate more energy (large amounts of energy.)

After mixing A heat-killed, phosphorescent (light-emitting) strain of bacteria is mixed with a living, non-phosphorescent strain

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Phosphorescence in descendants of the living cells.

Explanation:

The DNA acts as the heritable molecule that pass down from the parents to their offsprings and move from one generation to the next generation. Different experiments had been done to identify the heritable molecules.

In an experiment, non fluorescent become fluorescent when mixed with the dead fluorescet cells. This means the material has been transformed to the non fluorescent cells. The phosphorescent acts as the descendants in the living cells and may be inherited to the future generations as well.
