The mass isn't really lost, it's converted to energy via E=mc². The same thing happens in chemical reactions, it's just not noticeable.
For example, burning one mole of carbon produces about 393500 J.
Using E=mc²
393500 J=m(3.00x10^8 m/s)²
m=393500 J/(3.00x10^8 m/s)²
=4.37x10^-12 Kg
Note that a Joule(J) is a (Kg∙m²)/s² so that's why the units cancel out to give Kg.
Anyways, you see that the mass "lost" is very small, if you don't understand how small 4.37x10^-12 Kg is, write it out, it's 0.00000000000437 Kg. A good analytical balance wouldn't even be able to detect such a small "loss" in mass. However when we're dealing with nuclear reactions we're usually talking about converting mass to energy and because E=mc² and the speed of light(c) is such a large number we get a lot of energy from a small "loss" in mass! That's the only reason we care about the small "loss" in mass when we're talking about nuclear reactions.
Notice that I put the word "loss" in quotations because like I said, the mass is not really lost, it's just converted to energy.

Why rbc lost its nucleus?
Red blood cells lose their nucleus during maturation in order to make room for more hemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. This allows the cell to have a biconcave shape for efficient gas exchange and a larger surface area-to-volume ratio. The lack of nucleus also enables the red blood cell to live longer in the bloodstream.
What happens when a piece of DNA is missing?
Technically, DNA cannot form outside the nucleus, as DNA is formed by the replication of existing DNA. It needs an existing strand, which can only be found in the nucleus of a cell. But if it did form outside the nucleus, then the DNA would just be a strand of amino acid, which will quickly be broken down by the lysosomes.
What is the difference between NRBCs and Reticuloytes?
NRBCs (nucleated red blood cells) are immature red blood cells that still contain a nucleus, typically seen in the blood of infants or in certain medical conditions. Reticulocytes are also immature red blood cells, but they have lost their nucleus. Reticulocytes are released from the bone marrow into the bloodstream to eventually mature into erythrocytes (mature red blood cells).
Why do you think that DNA always remains inside of the nucleus?
DNA never leaves the nucleus because it is so important for the cell. The DNA leaving the nucleus would be like a brain leaving a head. It is what controls the cell and without the cell can not function.
Can energy be transferred from one form to another with 100 efficiency?
No, it is not possible to achieve 100% efficiency in energy transfer due to factors such as friction, heat loss, and resistance in the transfer process. Some energy will always be lost or converted into other forms, limiting the overall efficiency of energy transfer.
Lost of an atoms mass is in the nucleus?
Almost all of an atom's mass is in the nucleus.
Why RBC cells lack ER organale?
i believe, and this is only a guess, because the outer nuclear membrane forms a continuum with the rough endoplasmic reticulum, when the nucleus is lost, so is the ER
what happens to mass that is lost when a nucleus forms?
The atom is unaffected, as the neutrons simply make up the atom. The electrons and protons do all the work.ps the world won't blow up- it's okay.
What happens to lost energy when water is created?
It forms covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen. The energy is released when the bonds are broken through electrolysis.
Do electrons get used up as they go around the circuit?
A: NO they are not lost they just stop from flowing from nucleus to nucleus and resume their orbit to maintain balance with the structure of with nucleus
What happens to matter when energy is lost?
When energy is lost from matter, it can result in a decrease in the speed or movement of the particles within the matter. This can lead to a decrease in temperature or a change in state (e.g. solid to liquid). The lost energy is typically converted into other forms, such as heat or radiation.
What happens to the containers that are lost at sea?
they are just that- lost.
What happens to this lost mass?
Mass cannot be truly lost, as stated in the law of conservation of mass. It can change forms, such as being converted into energy through processes like nuclear reactions or chemical reactions. In these cases, the mass is not truly lost but rather transformed into a different state.
What happens to electrons during ion formation?
During ion formation, electrons are either gained or lost by an atom. When electrons are lost, a positively charged ion forms (cation), and when electrons are gained, a negatively charged ion forms (anion). This process balances the number of protons and electrons in the atom to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Are red blood cells nucleate?
red blood cells that have not lost their nucleus.
What happens if you have lost the TM dig on emerald?
if you have lost it then go back to the place you lost it if its not there report it
Can I manually retrieve a lost password on dell a dimension?
Please explain where the password was lost. In the os? In the bootup?
