What is the process that releases energy to convert substances to simpler products?
catabolism is the process that releases energy to convert substances to simpler products
Do you burn uranium to power nuclear energy?
It is not burning in the normal chemical sense, though nuclear engineers do talk about fuel burnup. By this they mean the amount of energy extracted from a tonne of fuel. The process is nuclear fission which means that the uranium nuclei split apart into two smaller fragments, and this releases thermal energy.
When the sun releases tiny particles due to energy productions it is called?
When the Sun releases tiny particles due to energy production, it is called ...
What process takes place when uranium -235 splits into two smaller nuclei plus neutrons?
This is called nuclear fission. During this process a small amount of mass is annihilated which produces energy
The process of burning a fuel to change chemical energy into thermal energy is called?
When a fuel is burned, it is a combustion reaction. This reaction breaks apart chemical bonds and releases the energy stored in them.
How nuclear reactor gets energy?
By the fission of uranium nuclei, which releases energy
How does uranium turn nuclear?
Pure Uranium is radioactive; thus harmful. Inside a nuclear reactor, atoms get split. When the Uranium atom is split, it releases a huge amount of energy. This energy is called nuclear energy. Also the normal Uranium is not used in reactors. The Uranium that is used is enhanced; it is an isotope of Uranium. Uranium-237 and Uranium-238 are used in nuclear reactors. I hope this answer was useful for you.
What is the process called for mitochondions?
well the mitochondria releases energy for the "powerhouse" of the cell
What change releases energy into its surroundings?
An exothermic process releases energy into its surroundings.
One of the organelles in the eukaryote releases energy from sugars What is this process called?
Cellular respiration.
Does a plant break down sugar and releases energy using a process called femantation?
Yes they break down sugar and realeses energy using a process called femantation
What is the process that releases energy?
respiration
What is the definition of uranium energy?
energy derived from uranium. Example: fission is a great method to extract uranium energy.

Out of carbon helium hydrogen oxygen and uranium which is the main source of the suns energy?
Hydrogen The sun is just made up of Hydrogen 74.9% and Helium 23.8%. The suns high pressure, and temperature fuses hydrogen into helium. The process is called Nuclear Fusion, this releases a lot of energy.
What is the process that releases energy without using energy?
fermentation
