If you're referring to nuclear energy in power generating plants, it is nuclear fission. If you're referring to the nuclear energy in our Sun, it is nuclear fusion.

Do bobcats go through photosynthesis?
No, bobcats do not go through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process performed by plants and some other organisms that convert sunlight into energy. Bobcats, as mammals, obtain energy by consuming other organisms, such as smaller mammals, birds, and reptiles.
What conditions cause nuclear fusion to occur?
Nuclear fusion is caused by a huge amount of energy being absorbed by two atoms that are close to each other and they fuse, or under go fusion to give of that energy. The byproduct of the process is roughly equivalent to the amount of energy that was absorbed by the original two or more atoms.
Chloroplasts cannot make glucose at night Why Not?
They make glucose through the process of photosynthesis. Since that process uses light as it's source of energy, it can't go on at night.
What state of matter must be supplied with the most energy to turn it into a gas And why?
Solid, because it goes through a longer process than the Liquid. Thus, the Liquid doesn't need as much energy as a solid.
What process is common in plants?
photosynthesis is the process in which plants change sunlight into energy
What is the source of energy of a green plant?
The source of energy of plants is sunlight.
Stars get there energy from?
Stars generally get their energy from hydrogen. By far the most common source of energy from a star (like our sun) is the nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium. As long as there is enough hydrogen, and other elements, to support the nuclear fusion, the process will go on. Therefore, stars generally get their energy from large amounts of hydrogen which coalesced during the star formation and through gravity received enough mass (weight) to start the nuclear process.
What process does the sun go through to create energy?
Fusion
Describe the energy of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion has not yet been achieved on Earth but it is the process by which the un and stars are believed to gain their energy. At the moment nuclear reactors use nuclear fission, which is the splitting of radioactive nucleii. Nuclear fussion is the combining, or the fusion, of atoms which would release much much more energy. Many scientists believe that this is the way we need to go to solve the energy crisis.
What type of energy does a crank flashlight go through. mechanical or thermal?
"Go through"? The process of charging and using a crank flashlight includes the existence of thermal, mechanical, electromagnetic, sound and radiation energy.
What process generates the heat and energy in present day nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are the two processes that are used in the nuclear power plants. Nuclear fission refers to the process of splitting the atomic nuclei while nuclear fusion refers to the process of joining the atomic nuclei.
What is the original source of energy in oil?
With the exception of nuclear energy (fission or fusion) all original sources of energy in the world come from the Sun and accretion (Earth's creation by impact events) . If you want to go back further than that, ultimately all energy, including nuclear energy, started with the big bang. Oil or fossil fuels all began as plant life which gathered it's energy from the Sun, creating sugars from CO2, water and minerals through a process called photosynthesis, absorbing solar energy to do so.
How do you write an essay on solutions for energy crisis?
Go nuclear or go home.
Do bobcats go through photosynthesis?
No, bobcats do not go through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process performed by plants and some other organisms that convert sunlight into energy. Bobcats, as mammals, obtain energy by consuming other organisms, such as smaller mammals, birds, and reptiles.
Is nuclear energy safety?
no somewhat, but i would go with the above answer -no
Should the UK go nuclear?
The UK has been nuclear for a very long time. It has lots of nuclear energy stations and lots of nuclear weapons.
What is the nuclear process that is taking place IN the sun?
Nuclear FusionThis is when 2 H atoms go so hot the combine to make 1 helium atom producing alot of heat energy that my one day power our houses.
