Does an electron move with the speed of light or not?

Nothing that has mass when it's stationary can move at the speed of light. Electrons can move at any lesser speed. In modern particle accelerators, they can be boosted to 0.99999c. But every additional ' 9 ' requires ten times as much energy as the previous one did.


What does a boosted metabolism do?

It burns more calories when the body is at rest.


Are boiled chloroplasts able to reduce DPIP?

Boiling chloroplasts prevents the DPIP from being reduced because the enzymes for photosynthesis are no longer present in the chloroplasts. DPIP is reduced from blue to colorless when light strikes the chloroplasts and the electrons are boosted to a higher energy level. Since photosynthesis cannot be performed by the denatured chloroplasts, the DPIP cannot be reduced.


What is the role of tritium in a nuclear bomb?

Tritium gas is injected into the hollow weapon pit (the "core") to boost the nuclear yield of the explosion. Weapons that use tritium injection are called "boosted weapons".


After the deuterium in heavy water is used in fusion what is left in the water?

Heavy water is not used in fusion for any purpose. Pure deuterium gas is used in some boosted fission nuclear bombs, deuterium-tritium gas is used in some boosted fission nuclear bombs and in some experimental fusion reactors. Lithium deuteride is used in fusion nuclear bombs. To obtain the deuterium for these purposes heavy water is usually separated by electrolysis into deuterium gas and oxygen gas. After the extraction of deuterium (or deuterated water) from natural water remain: H2O (molecules with 16O, 17O or 18O) and extremely low concentrations of HTO, T2O.
