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.

Dietary fiber has been recommended for its possible benefits in reducing heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol. How does f
malfutka [58]

Answer:

By lowering the levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL)

Explanation:

Dietary fibers are classified into two: the soluble fiber and the insoluble fiber. Studies have show that the soluble fiber play a significant role in lowering blood cholesterol, hence reducing the cardiovascular diseases.

Soluble fiber helps to lower blood cholesterol by its ability to bind to the small intestine which further binds to cholesterol most especially the ad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein). Binding of Fibers to cholesterol prevents them from migrating to the blood stream and to other  parts of the body. Since cholesterol can't get into the bloodstream, it exits the body through feces. Fiber has more effect on lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) than High density lipoprotein (good cholesterol.

Answers:

#1:

The process that takes place in the stroma in both sunlight and darkness is the Calvin cycle. In sunlight and darkness the Calvin cycle produces a light dependent reaction which then produces ATP and NADPH. Even in darkness the process will still be able to undergo completion. If it has been dark for too long there will not be enough ATP and NADPH to continue sugar production.

#2:

Pyruvate: If there is any oxygen molecules produced in glycolysis will be passed to the Kreb cycle but when there isnt enough oxegen the transport chain wont run which mean fermentation will occur since the NADH molecules have nowhere to go.

NADH: Will go into electron transport.

ATP: Stores energy for a period of time.

#3:

Mitosis and cytokinesis both go through cell division and during mitosis chromatis divides into daughter cells meanwhile cytokinesis has one cell split into two. Without cytokinesis, mitiosis would still happen but only create two nucli in one cell and if cytokinesis happens the cell would die.
