Jupiter has a similar composition to the sun. Why is the sun a star while Jupiter is not?

Biology
1 answer:
irakobra [83]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is (b) Jupiter has mass less than that of sun which cannot generate enough pressure which can start hydrogen fusion. Jupiter has similar composition as both are entirely made up of hydrogen and helium. They both differ in the core and mass. The mass of Jupiter is so small as compared that it would not be able to generate enough pressure to start hydrogen fusion. Jupiter's core is made of metallic hydrogen and the core of sun is so hot that the hydrogen splits into electrons and protons. This generates hydrogen fusion.

Thus, Sun a star and Jupiter is not a star.

Which stage of the cell cycle lasts longest?
Ugo [173]

Answer: i think the Interphase because

Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells. The prefix inter- means between, so interphase takes place between one mitotic (M) phase and the next.

hope this helps have a nice day ❤️❤️❤️❤️

If the researcher compares mRNA from inside the nucleus to mRNA from the ribosomes, what will be found
wolverine [178]

Shorter mRNA will be found in the ribosomes when comparisons are made

with the  mRNA from inside the nucleus.

<h3>Ribosomes</h3>

Ribosomes are organelles which acts as sites for protein synthesis. This is

where the mRNA gets converted into polypeptides which have longer

chains.

Ribosomes have a shorter mRNA in the ribosome which becomes longer in

the nucleus after synthesis of larger polypeptides.  this is the reason why

there is a variation in the size of the mRNA found in the ribosome and

nucleus.

What is fusion and how does it relate to e=mc squared?
trasher [3.6K]
E = mc2 Meaning

At the beginning of the 20th century, the notion of mass underwent a radical revision. Mass lost its absoluteness. One of the striking results of Einstein’s theory of relativity is that mass and energy are equivalent and convertible one into the other. Equivalence of the mass and energy is described by Einstein’s famous formula E = mc2. In words, energy equals massmultiplied by the speed of light squared. Because the speed of light is a very large number, the formula implies that any small amount of matter contains a very large amount of energy. The mass of an object was seen to be equivalent to energy, to be interconvertible with energy, and to increase significantly at exceedingly high speeds near that of light. The total energy of an object was understood to comprise its rest mass as well as its increase of mass caused by increase in kinetic energy.

In special theory of relativity certain types of matter may be created or destroyed, but in all of these processes, the mass and energy associated with such matter remains unchanged in quantity. It was found the rest mass an atomic nucleus is measurably smaller than the sum of the rest masses of its constituent protons, neutrons and electrons. Mass was no longer considered unchangeable in the closed system. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together. According to the Einstein relationship (E = mc2) this binding energy is proportional to this mass difference and it is known as the mass defect.
