Compare and contrast nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.

Biology
1 answer:
Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.

Which reactant of photosynthesis is also involved in climate change?
choli [55]

Answer:

B. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

First of all, let’s write out the photosynthesis equation to identify the products and reactants.

6CO2 + 6H2O + energy —> C6H12O6 + 6H2O

In a chemical equation with the arrow pointing right, the reactants are on the left and the products on the right.

In photosynthesis, the reactants, carbon dioxide, water, and energy, react to form the products of glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Now, let’s look at the answer choices. We can automatically eliminate choices A (oxygen) and D (sugar) because they are products.

We are left with B (carbon dioxide) and C (water). Water isn’t really considered a major contributor to climate change. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.

Therefore, the best answer choice is B. Carbon dioxide

What best explains the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
DiKsa [7]

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

Summarize the nature versus nurture debate, and explain how contemporary theorists view this debate.
Klio2033 [76]

One of the oldest arguments in the history of psychology is the Nature vs Nurture debate. Each of these sides have good points that it's really hard to decide whether a person's development is predisposed in his DNA, or a majority of it is influenced by this life experiences and his environment.
