nuclear fusion
It is true that nuclear reaction produce huge amounts of energy by transforming tiny amounts of matter.
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear fusion is the process that occurs in the sun that produces energy. Hydrogen atoms are fused together to produce helium. As a result of that fusion, energy is released in the form of heat and light.
Nuclear energy as applied to power plants uses uranium, which can be made to produce a chain reaction in which atoms of uranium are constantly splitting and releasing energy in the form of heat. The heat is then used to produce electricity through a steam turbine/generator.
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.

Nuclear Fusion
Oxygen and glucose.ADP and Pi combines to produce ATP. Energy is stored in this reaction
It combines atoms to create new and more massive elements and releases a great deal of energy.
Nuclear reaction inside the Sun is fusing of Hydrogen to Helium and release out thermal energy.
False. Both mass and energy are conserved.
Nuclear Energy
A nuclear fusion reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy. This occurs when two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This releases a large amount of energy.
