Do arteries have a nucleus?

No. An artery is a closed "pipeline" for the blood; the cells it is made of have nuclei, the cells it transports have nuclei, but the artery itself does not.


Could a cell live without a nucleolus?

A cell would die without its nucleus as it is its "brain" which controls the cell. Only human red blood cells have no nuclei after maturity.


Do protons circle the nucleus of an atom?

Nuclei of atoms contain protons (+) and neutrons. The electrons (-) circle the nucleus on orbitals, forming the electron cloud. In a balanced or neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons in the nucleus as there are electrons outside of the nucleus. The number of neutrons can vary within the same element; that's how you get isotopes (e.g. Carbon-13 has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 7 neutrons...The 13 is the atomic mass representing the sum of the protons and neutrons)


Is it true that protons in the nucleus attach themselves to another atom?

No. Not under normal conditions. It is true that protons within the nucleus attract each other due to the residual binding energy left over from the binding energy that holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons, but that force does not extend beyond the nucleus before the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force, would override the residual binding energy. In order to bind protons from different nuclei together, more formally, different nuclei together, you need nuclear fusion, and that requires high temperature and high pressure, first to ionize the atom and strip away the electron shells, and second to bring the nuclei close enough together that the residual binding energy can overcome the electromagnetic force.


How can you use the word electron in a sentence?

The neutrons and protons are located in the atom's nucleus. Although several members of the revolution saw significant problems with the nucleus of the plan, they refrained from saying anything, knowing that their leader would simply fly into a rage at any backtalk. The nucleus is the center of an atom and also its control center

Is Duterium heavy than Tririum?

Protium, deuterium, and tritium are all isotopes of hydrogen (H). As far as their masses: Tritium>Deuterium>Protium In their nuclei: Protium has 1 proton and 0 neutrons Deuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutron Tritium has 1 proton and 2 neutrons So yes, Deuterium is heavier than tritium.


What particle is produced during thermonuclear fusion?

deuterium and tritium fuse producing helium and a neutronthe helium is fully ionized and thus could also be called an alpha particle


What does a hydrogen bomb use for its explosive power?

An explosive weapon of enormous destructive power caused by the fusion of the nuclei of various hydrogen isotopes in the formation of helium nuclei.


Is Fusion a process in which existing nuclei combine to make new nuclei?

Yes. In nuclear fusion, experiments are trying to produce fusion of nuclei of deuterium and tritium, which are isotopes of hydrogen. The product will be nuclei of helium plus released energy.


Who recognised that large energy is released as a result of the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form deuterium?

The most likely fusion reaction to be exploited is deuterium + tritium forming helium +a neutron, not what you have put in your question. The physics of this was worked out by Hans Bethe


What nuclei are fused in the nuclear reaction of a hydrogen bomb?

Deuterium (heavy hydrogen) nuclei and tritium nuclei to form helium nuclei. This comes from lithium deuteride in modern "dry" hydrogen bombs. Neutrons from fission splits the lithium generating tritium just before fusion is ignited..


What element do you get if you fuse two helium nuclei together?

Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together. This is frequently nuclei of deuterium and tritium (both hydrogen isotopes), which form a helium nucleus plus a neutron.


Which source of energy is used for fusion?

Nuclear fusion produces energy from the changes in the nuclear composition of the fuel, which is a mixture of deuterium and tritium. Essentially what happens is that some of the mass of the nuclei is destroyed and this releases energy


How an atom of tritium different from an atom of hydrogen?

Tritium, n., A radioactive isotope of hydrogen having an atomic mass of 3.017 and a nucleus composed of 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its halflife is 12.26 years and it decays by beta decay to Helium-3. Tritium is normally only produced synthetically on earth by placing sealed pellets of Lithium in the neutron flux of a nuclear reactor.


What is the product of a fusion reaction with the sun?

In the sun the product of the nuclear fusion is light energy and heat energy. It also created helium from the isotopes deuterium and tritium.


Name the nuclear process by which the suns is powered?

Fusion, as it is joining the nuclei of smalled atoms together to form another atom and a spare neutron and releases energy. In a main sequence star, such as our sun, it will fuse together the nuclei of the isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) to form helium.


When is energy in the sun produced?

..particles (nuclei) fuse together to form heavier nuclei. Initially, two protons fuse together (hydrogen atom nuclei) to form deuterium. These in turn may fuse with further protons, or with another deuterium nuclei to for a helium nuclei. As the heavier nuclei form, lots of energy is released.
